Alpine Bloom Hat MCN Kit – Dark Honey + Deep Pink + Honeysuckle
This Alpine Bloom Hat kit contains a skein of MCN Sock in the Dark Honey colourway and two mini skeins of Mohair/Silk Select Lace, one each of the Deep Pink and Honeysuckle colourways. The Dark Honey colourway is a subtle mix of various shades of light golden brown. The Deep Pink colourway is a mix of various shades of dark pink while the Honeysuckle colourway is a mix of various shades of a bright corally-orange. The suggested pattern is NOT included in this kit.
The Alpine Bloom Hat is knit in the round and written for a sport weight yarn with a fun to knit colourwork pattern. In my version, pictured here, I used my Sock Two yarn (a heavier fingering weight yarn) as the main colour and for the contract colour, I used 3 strands of Mohair/Silk Select Lace held together throughout. For the leaf sections, I used two strands of Deep Pink with 1 strand of Honeysuckle and for the flower sections, I used two strands of Honeysuckle with 1 strand of Honeysuckle. This creates a warm but lightweight fabric and my colourwork came out very even with a slightly smaller gauge using the recommended needle. The Alpine Bloom Hat pattern by Caitlin Hunter is NOT included in this kit but can be purchased here.
