Thinking about a new round of hats for the year, I always like to incorporate all the odds and ends of leftover yarn from larger projects in a fun way. Stripes always seem to be a good place to start. This year, I decided to keep it simple with ribbed brims that are knit together to keep them warm and neat. The fun part was picking the colors for the stripes. Then I finished them with removable pom-poms. Both good for removing them before washing or for those that like to be less exuberant in their winter wardrobe. The hat has a button at the top on the inside for the pom-pom to be tied around.

I seem to have the most time to explore and spin yarn in the beginning of the year. This year I had a nice stock of hand dyed fiber from Edgewood Garden Studio to work with. The top row of yarns stuck with a single package of fiber, but the bottom two combined two different fiber packs to create each yarn. The first paired two strands of gray with a third spun from vibrant colors. The second use the other half of the vibrant yarn paired with a similarly vibrant blue. It’s very interesting to see how the color comes to the front with the gray, but becomes an accent with the blue.

An exploration of the tiny details – of a beautiful palm sized stone and the color and texture of yarn.
