“The Frosted Lily Hat by Alexis Adrienne”
Description
Designed by Alexis Adrienne for cold comfort knits: www.coldcomfortknits.com
Inspired by the Light
The Frosted Lily Hat was inspired by the hope and beauty of light. The lustrous sheen of silk. The subtle sparkle of a glass bead as it catches the light. Designed for the frosty days of early Spring, this light-weight, feminine beanie features a timeless Lily-of-the-Valley motif, plus a delicate seed border to remind us that frost is not an end, but simply a rest…followed by the light of new beginnings.
Finished Measurements
9.75” (25 cm) high x 16.5” (42 cm) around (un-stretched).
To fit 22” (56 cm) head circumference; average adult female.
Yarn
Juniper Moon Farm Moonshine (40% Wool, 40% Alpaca, 20% Silk; 197 yards 180 meters / 100 grams): 1 skein in colour #1 “Dew”.
Needles
One 16” (40 cm) circular needle size US 7 (4.5 mm).
One set of 4 double-pointed needles size US 7 (4.5 mm).
Change needle size if necessary to obtain correct gauge.
Gauge
22 stitches / 28 rounds = 4” (10 cm) in Stockinette Stitch.
Skill Level
Intermediate
Note
Juniper Moon Farm Moonshine is classified as “Worsted”, however I find it a bit thicker than this--closer to“Aran”. As always, whether using the specified yarn, or an alternate, make sure you “get gauge” before beginning.
