The Forest Glen hat started as a stash-buster, and ended up looking so effortlessly beautiful no one would ever guess it was knit from half a ball of sock yarn and some leftover fluff!
Add a pom…or don’t. The crown looks lovely no matter your personal pomming preferences! The pattern is easily committed to memory. The double-layer hem is warm and practical. And the possible yarn combinations are virtually endless.
Why not go on a yarn-venture, and let your stash guide you through the Forest Glen?
Main Colour (MC): Approximately 200 yards (180 meters) of fingering-weight yarn held single throughout.
Sample shown in Schoppel Wolle Crazy Zauberball (75% Wool, 25% Nylon) in colour “Not the Foggiest”.
Contrast Colour (CC): Approximately 150 to 270 yards (140 to 250 meters) of a fuzzy lace-weight yarn.
Sample used approximately 150 yards (140 meters) of Hedgehog Fibres Alpaca Boucle (66% Alpaca, 34% Silk) in colour “Ozone” held double throughout.
The Shift is a fun knit. I’ve knit the pattern four times and would make it again. I wore one today. It is comfortable - not too tight around the neck.
These are available online and in the store.
Then I made kits using three different colours. You can find them on the website and in the store.
Thank you to everyone who brought in hats and mittens yesterday and today. The pile is growing.
Now that the armhole shaping is finished the rows are going much faster on my Tessellated Vest.
