Alchemy

Alchemy is a mix of all the beautiful things to make something deliciously golden.

Dear lover of coloured yarn and of the tactile act of blending colours in your patterns.

My new Tree and Star hat design is a remake of my original Sea Urchin Hat pattern but this time, I have used Jamieson & Smith Woolbrokers 2ply Jumper weight / 4ply/fingering yarn. I have also used different size needles to create a slouchier hat than the original beanie shape and there are more details in this pattern to help you achieve the look you want.  Making this new design has been an alchemy between years of working this pattern with colour blending ideas, a trial with a new yarn and the inspiration of pink blousy cherry blossom trees that have festooned this city during the entire month of April.

You can copy the pattern to the exact stitch and colour, or you can use it as a springboard to develop your own ideas by choosing your colours or even a different tree and star motif to the one I have chosen to incorporate into my hat – you can make this hat your design too.

here is the hat pattern, it is called Tree and Star

Here it is – the pattern is out on Ravelry and if you haven’t knitted any Fair Isle or stranded knit projects before, then, this is the perfect easy pattern to start with.
