Skill Level - Beginner
This alpaca wool knit kit uses alpaca yarn from British and Irish farms. Seen here in parchment and speckledy grey and available in a wide range of other alpaca colours. You can knit it in the round or as a flat panel. This is a straight forward hat, suitable for beginners: no ribbing, and only a simple decrease at the end, by which time you will be ready to learn a new technique, having mastered the main two knitting stitches: knit and and purl.
Size: Small - Medium - Large
Kit includes:
- Cotton alpaca project bag
- 100g (225m) Gorgeous DK yarn made from 75% alpaca/25% sheep's wool
- Faux fur pompom (choose colour at checkout)
- Pattern for this and two other more advanced two-colour hats
- Optional 4.5mm needles
Despite it's simplicity, it's also a really versatile hat: you can roll it up for a tight fit to the crown beanie-style, or roll it out for a long 2020s look!If you want it even longer, there is plenty of yarn left to keep going.It's very lightweight and very flexible so perfect for travelling.
As with all Gorgeous alpaca DK kits, it's warm and cosy, but lightweight and breathes well. The alpaca yarn has a small amount of 100% natural sheep's wool blended in, which makes it easy to knit with, and still retains that wonderful alpaca softness. This hat can be washed by hand or in a machine on a wool wash at 20 degrees.
