Product description

If you need a quick dose of cables and a fetching new hat, Pavo has you covered. Just choose your scale: a tam in Loft or a beanie in Shelter? Both hats feature a cable motif reminiscent of wrought iron finials for a satisfyingly intricate but finite knitting experience. Knit your Pavo in a jaunty bright hue like Hayloft or a pale neutral like Fossil to show the cables to maximum advantage.

The sweater shown on the female model is Michele Wang’s Abbott Pullover from the BT Winter 14 Collection.

Designer: Michele Wang

Collection: Fall 2016

    Note: If you have adjusted the needle size to obtain the correct gauge, it may or may not be necessary to make a matching adjustment to the needle size used for Tubular Cast On due to variance in individual work. You may wish to test your chosen cast-on method on your swatch.
