yarn

pattern

Own design

needles

5.00mm straight

Comes with matching scarf. Matching only in as much as I've used the same yarn, but doesn't have any diagonals running through it. I did start wanting to make properly matching hat, using short-rows, but the one 50g ball wouldn't have sufficed, and I refused to go out and buy more yarn, when the purpose was that of stash-busting.

So I went for a simple design that would emphasise the colour transitions, with some "bits" grafted at the top. I just kept adding bits until I totally ran out of yarn, a most satisfying feeling, I tell you! I really like the colours, and although I'm not a lover of green in any shade or form, I do think it's bearable in this hat, cos it works well with the other hues.
