Dala Horse Hat
It’s Christmas knitting season around here and I am knitting for my family. This Dala Horse Hat part of the Christmas 2019 collection. I am starting with 1 -100 g skein of Quince and Co Osprey in Poppy, 1-50g skein of Brooklyn Tweed in Iceberg, and 1-50 g skein of Quince and Co Owl in Snowy. I will be using the yarn left over from the Dala Horse Hat in other projects, and will release the patterns individually, and together as a collection. My goal is to use up all (or most of ) each skein. This is the first pattern released in the Christmas 2019 Collection. Stay tuned. This hat is a great first colorwork project. If you are new to colorwork, knit the hat in two colors and then add the third with a duplicate stitch.
It works up super quickly, and the Dala horses make me smile. I found the Faux Fur pompom at Barrett Wool Co.
