Third Winter
Pattern is 50% off through Dec 10th (no coupon code needed). (But if you get a kit the pattern is included)
I designed Third Winter last year, when it seemed that winter would never end. My coping mechanism was to design a new hat, and a quick stash dive solved the problem. Leftover skeins of Feeder Brook Farm 2-ply combined with JDMS Ansel are the perfect combo. The dyed-in-the-wool Feederbrook creates a subtle color shift in the brim, and contrasts with Ansel beautifully. AND YES! There are kits in the shop!!!
Third Winter begins with a soothing 2-color brioche brim worked in the round. Once the brim is completed, the work gets turned and the hat body is then knit in one color toward the crown in the opposite direction. This creates a folded-over, double layer of cozy soft wool around the ears.
Of course, a video tutorial is included to teach you how to knit brioche in the round.
The unexpected surprise with this hat was that, because I loved it so much, I didn’t mind that winter kept on going! Turns out that a surefire way to beat the winter blues is to knit something you want to wear. Plus, now that winter is here again I’m happy to slap this beauty on my head and head outside! Knit one and maybe you’ll be happy when crummy weather gives you the opportunity to wear it!
