Mrs. Draper's Cabled Hat
Introducing Mrs. Draper’s Cable Hat – the perfect knitting pattern for enthusiasts at any skill level! Whether you’re a beginner ready to dive into your first cable project, an experienced knitter seeking a quick and uncomplicated venture, or someone in between, this delightful pattern is designed just for you.
The name Mrs. Draper pays homage to the iconic Betty Draper from the acclaimed television series Mad Men, as well as to the stunning shade of MadelineTosh Vintage yarn used in this design – the beautifully rich Betty Draper’s Blues. Much like Betty, this hat exudes beauty and elegance, with an intriguing twist. While it may seem intimidating at first glance, a closer look reveals that this pattern is surprisingly simple to follow!
The design features a long ribbed cuff, allowing you the versatility to wear the hat as a slouchy beanie or a snug fit with a chic cuff. Surrounding the narrow cables is a reverse stockinette stitch, which provides wonderful texture that beautifully offsets the twist of the cables. The yarn, MadelineTosh Vintage, is crafted from 100% merino wool, spun into a round and springy texture that truly enhances the visual appeal and tactile experience of this hat. This luxurious yarn not only showcases the intricate details of the pattern but also ensures superb warmth and comfort for the chilly season.
If you choose to substitute yarns for this pattern, we highly recommend selecting a yarn that has similar qualities to MadelineTosh Vintage. Look for a yarn that offers excellent stitch definition and a soft, plush feel to ensure your finished hat is both beautiful and cozy.
