Inspired by the Dwarven mines from The Lord of the Rings, this quick knit features contrasting lattice cables that form a starburst design at the crown. The combination of colorwork and cables creates a texture that works together to make this striking hat. Fun to knit and wear, the Mines of Moriahat is perfect for men or women.

Full color pictures and chart will guide you though each step. The techniques in the pattern include colorwork cables, twisted ribbing, and colorwork motifs.

Yarn requirements: 1 skein each of two contrasting colors.

Different sizes can be achieved using different needle sizes, and differing weights of yarn which may increase or decrease your yardage requirements.

A huge thank you to MRPP for test-knitting and tech editing. Wouldn’t have happened without you!
