Originally designed by Lyrical Knits for Valley Yarns’ Designer Series, Frosted Windowpanes is worked in 2 icy shades of Valley Superwash DK with colorwork that is super easy and fun--you only every work with one color per round, so you get the Wow factor with no stranding.

Pair a variegated or specked colorway (for the CC, as shown in Miss Bab’s Yowza) with a semi-solid, and you get a knockout combination. Or use 2 icy colors the feel of winter frost on a window for a cool, wintery look.

The windowpane pattern continues up the crown, resulting in a hat that looks fantastic from every angle.

The colorwork slip stitch pattern is in written form, but chart-lovers have nothing to fear--the directions are very easy to follow (a la “(k3, sl1) to end”)
