Plymouth Gin Hat

$7.00

The Plymouth Gin Hat is a unisex cap, designed to show off this gorgeous heathered Yarnadelic Worsted yarn from John Arbon Textiles. I absolutely love this combination of deep gray-blue with threads of rust in my skein, and it could not sit in my stash for a moment longer. (The shade is called Bada Di.)

You won't be surprised to hear that heathered, classic yarn just begs for cables in my opinion, so…cables it is.

I chose a motif that feels traditional when charted or used alone, but the design has a little different vibe when placed side by side.

The open ovals feature elegant lines and classic twists within their centers, but it's the way each lines up against the next oval that makes this hat so striking. The bold vertical lines allow for a nice contrast and create little diamonds as they come and go, and it's this combination of circles and lines and diamonds that make the hat really work for me.

The cap is designed with a modern silhouette, including extra depth at top and a deep ribbing that flows right into the cable pattern on the brim.

Depending on what color of Yarnadelic Worsted you choose, this hat can go from traditional and serious to bright and funky—and John Arbon has an absolute rainbow of shades to choose from!
