Here you can purchase Constantine Hat and Mittens together as a bundle.
The cosy worsted weight hat was born on Constantine Bay beach in Cornwall, UK and the mittens came along a bit later. The cable pattern is much easier than it looks and the result is really snug worked in the suggested yarn.
HAT
The pattern is fairly simple to knit up and makes a great TV project! The cables remind me of ripples in the sand. The hat is worked in the round from the cuff up and consists of knit and cabled stitches which are easily memorised.
