Fflewddur hats are a beret or slouchy hat with a web of cables coming together in the center. The cables are shown in main color with contrast color mixed in for the background. The cables are knit using a slipped stitch two color technique, bringing a striking result with simple stitches.

Slipped stitch cables give a lot of pop without a great deal of technical difficulty.

This is an intermediate pattern, or accessible to a confident beginner. Specific skills needed are knitting in the round, slipped stitches, cables and moving row beginnings.
