A bit of History behind the name: Wensleydale, England

Most of the dales are named after their river or stream. Wensleydale is one of only a few Yorkshire Dales not currently named after its principal river, but the older name, Yoredale. The valley is famous for its cheese. Wensleydale was one of the cheeses named by John Cleese in the Monty Python sketch "The Cheese Shop". The popular Wallace and Gromit animated shorts A Grand Day Out, The Wrong Trousers, and A Close Shave had the main character Wallace, a cheese connoisseur, mention Wensleydale as a particularly favourite cheese.

The Wensleydale Hat

This Hat works up quickly and is one of those classic styles that I always love to add to any outfit! It's packed full of comfortable stretch which also feels weightless as you wear it. Using the Wool Ease Thick and Quick yarn makes this feel super soft and squishy. Making it a perfect accessory for even the coolest of days. Thick and Quick yarn also makes this project done in no time! There are so many color combos that would look lovely with this pattern.

This is the perfect hat if you want to try working a crochet hat in the round, with very simple stitches, a big hook, and yarn makes it very easy to see your stitches. I also like that you can use scraps of yarn left over for this hat. It's perfect for stash busting or for markets. Alternated in two colorways gives this an effect of having a separate brim, giving it a bit of personality all to its own.

Work one up for your entire family and friends as this is a hat that will look great on everyone and go with countless outfits!

Working these up in different color combos will give each one a unique feel too. Some of the T and Q colorways that have variegated tones can give this an Ombre look when used on the brim, melting into a solid colorway on the top.

If you have just over an hour, scraps of yarn left over, you can have your self a hat! I also made a matching infinity cowl, available on my Blog as well!

GAUGE

**Please check your gauge before you start this Pattern to match the finished measurements for this pattern:

It’s best to make your swatch slightly bigger than what the pattern states it should measure so you can measure it in the center of your square, getting an accurate reading. You can do this by adding 2 additional stitches and work 2 additional rows. Do not count the first and last stitch in your measurement or the first and last row.
