The result of
my experiment! A wintery hat for M. As soon as she put it on, she burst into singing "Let it go! Let it go!" Indeed, it does remind of the movie Frozen!
M loves it. She couldn't wait until it was finished (which is why it is a bit on the small side - it's hard to keep adding rows when an impatient 6-year old asks you every five minutes "When are you finished Mum?"). She put it on as soon as it came of the needles and has worn it non stop since then (yes, even indoors).
Inspiration came from
this pin. I love how the pattern slowly fades away into the white. In hindsight, I should have used finer yarn, in order to let the pattern come out better. O well, that's a good reason to dye some more yarn....
A big fat pom pom tops the hat like a giant snowball. I used up half a ball of wool for it, but it's worth it!
Below you find the pattern that I used.
The hat is 96 stitches in the round, which results in 6 repetitions of the pattern.
Heel subtiel! Ik zag de bloemen eerst niet eens. Dank voor het delen.
