In Celtic, the name Vardon means “From the green hill.” The rolling cables remind me of all the lovely green pictures you see of Celtic nations. Beautiful! I adore cables, so this beanie is a great treat to wear, for either gender, and a pompom is optional. (Curt wishes for a pompom on all his hats and therefore it had to have one. Dorky, but we all adore him for it!).

Worked in the round, Vardon contains written directions and charts. When the crown becomes too small to continue, you’ll switch to the magic loop method or DPNs.
