It's a top-down hat.
And the beginning is designed along the lines of vintage doilies.
There's a lot of cosy warm ribbing to cover your ears on a chilly day.
And my favorite part: a big luxurious pompom on the top.
It's knit from Valley Yarns Berkshire, a nice fat single wool yarn with alpaca for softness. Even if it isn't in your own oddments box, I recommend trying it!
This hat is lovely, especially in this soft, icy blue. And I guess I can just admit it -- I am falling in love with these giant poms!
ReplyDeleteVery nice pattern. I'm loving the Great Oddments idea already. What a genius idea.

A really lovely pattern! It's the right combination of a delicate design in a bulkier wool.
ReplyDeleteSo how much yardage do you think is in the pom-pom?
