It’s Free Pattern Friday!
Today, the Double Up Hat in Amphora and Whisper Lace (pattern link here).
Remember the adorable baby in the Sunset Slouch?
His mom Krista designed a hat for us this week! Krista works in Customer Service here, and this is her source of inspiration:
This is a small section of the big wall of sample balls that she sits next to in Customer Service. We keep these to send to magazines and shops who want to touch the yarn for themselves, but of course since we’re all crafters here we also eye them hungrily ourselves. It’s only natural that we sometimes look at them and think, “you know, these would go great together!”
The Double Up Hat combines brushed DK/light worsted Amphora and superfine Whisper Lace wool/lace blend to make this worsted weight hat with a subtle heathered look.
The two yarns together create a lovely halo effect.
I’ve been wondering how this would look with Whisper Lace in one of the more variegated tones. Let’s grab a selection from the Big Wall o’ Yarn to see.
I may have a new project to add to the queue.
Have an excellent weekend, everyone.
Happy crafting!
