Back in September, I saw a sample for a Cocoknits pattern and hatched an idea for a Christmas present. It was a cool hat -- good for the chill of winter and it would give me the opportunity to learn "thrumming".
So, for today's Ta-Da! Tuesday, we have the Fleeced Earflap Hat (well two of them really):
I made one for a family member and enjoyed it so much I made another for myself. The yarn in both cases is Malabrigo Rasta (Tip: Knit the medium size to get a large hat in this yarn!). The thrumming is pure wool dyed brown... You can find my project in Ravelry here.
Happy Knitting Everyone!
What a fabulous hat, it must have taken ages to do all the thrumming. I don't think it would make sense to use this technique in the UK, it just doesn't get cold enough often enough to warrant it, but I can still admire the effect.
ReplyDeleteThanks! It was a LOT of fun to make... It is warm, you almost need to live in Siberia to get the full benefit of it!
