Frost Blossoms by Ailbíona McLochlainn

Frost Blossoms

Discontinued. This digital pattern is no longer available online.

It’s winter, but one thawed-out morning you see in the garden a single hedge covered in tiny pink flower buds. You look and you touch in careful delight, knowing that the frost will return and the buds may never open, and that perhaps you alone will see this confetti of delicate colour and texture before all is reclaimed by the icy gray landscape…


…
Combining colourwork and texture with flattering demi-beret styling, the Frost Blossoms hat is a strikingly beautiful winter accessory. This hat is worked in the round, in worsted/light aran weight yarn, making for a quick, yet engaging project that is sure to brighten up a winter’s night with its unusual mix of techniques.
