Illyria

### Asymmetrical Cable Beanie Knitting Pattern Create a stylish and cozy accessory with our **Asymmetrical Cable Beanie** knitting pattern, perfect for keeping warm during chilly days! **Literary Inspiration**: As featured in Shakespeare’s *Twelfth Night*, where Viola remarks, "What country, friends, is this?" inspired by the rich culture of Illyria. This beanie is just as charming and versatile, making it a perfect project for knitters of all skill levels. **Yarn Requirements**: To craft this stunning beanie, we recommend using **Phatastic** yarn by Skeinny Dipping, which is a luxurious blend of 100% Rambouillet/Merino. You'll need 1 (1, 1, 2) skein(s)—or approximately 115 (125, 130, 145) yards—in the delightful color **Salt Marsh**. For a great substitute, consider **Cocoon** by Rowan, featuring an 80% merino and 20% mohair blend that offers 126 yards per 100g skein. You will need the same amount of skeins (1 (1, 1, 2) skeins) in the lovely color **Jupiter** to achieve a similar effect. **Needles**: You'll need a few tools to get started: - One 16” circular needle in size **US 9** [5.25 mm]. - One 16” circular needle and double-pointed needles (DPNs) in size **US 10 1/2** [6.5 mm] or a size needed to obtain the specified gauge. *Please note*: If you prefer the Magic Loop method, longer circular needles can be utilized. **Gauge**: Ensure your stitches are spot on for the perfect fit! - 14 stitches and 23 rounds = 4” in stockinette stitch. - 22 stitches and 23 rounds = 4” in the cable panel. **Important Note**: The pattern stitches are *charted only*, so be prepared to work from charts for this intricate design. Whether you’re looking for a quick knitting project or a statement piece to showcase your skills, this **Asymmetrical Cable Beanie** will be a fantastic addition to your winter wardrobe.
