Just in time for the freezing weather that has engulfed us this past week...
(launched in London last weekend)
Fabulous pattern by Gudrun Johnston, from the book 'Wool People, volume 2', found here.
Minus the tassels.
The pattern calls for tassels... but I'm not a tassel person.
I used one skein of Brooklyn Tweed LOFT in "faded quilt" (lovely name for a colour). This yarn is really warm and so light that the hat is a pleasure to wear. (But F>R>A>G>I>L>E!! oh my, don't pull too tight... in fact, don't pull at all...)
I used 3mm needles for the band and 4mm needles for the rest.
My Wurm hat didn't fare very well the handwash I gave it (kind of gone floppy and looooooong) and this is the perfect replacement.
