Anchors & Ropes (GBS WinterAngels 2008)

 

Cabled beanie style hat with deep ribbing, an anchor on the front (and back, not shown), and basic rope cables on the sides.

Pattern: Anchors & Ropes by Síle Thiels

Started: November 7, 2008

Finished: November 14, 2008

Made for: Andi 

Yarn: Bernat Wool Blend Natural Blends (80/20) (80% acrylic, 20% wool; 236 yds = 100g)
  • 1 skein in "soft denim" = 236 yds
Needles: 4.5mm/ US 7

Notes: As this was for GBS winter angel exchange, & Andi’s favorite color is blue, I decided a nice blue hat with anchors (front & back) and ropes (sides) would be really appropriate. This was the result.
Andi really liked it.
I found it easiest to work this on 5dpns. I kept the rope sts on their own needles & the anchors on their own needles :)

Further notes: This became the sample for my very first published pattern! This became the first pattern I put up for free on my old blog and is now available as a free pdf from my regular blog, Knit Dance Repeat
