The LINGON Set is knit with a luxurious Merino Wool and Silk blend Yarn.

The LINGON Hat uses two colors to create a color shift between the brim and the crown of the hat. The hat will be knit in the round working decreases to shape the crown. The same pattern will be used to knit in the opposite direction from the provisional cast-on edge in a second color. This will create a tube for the hat to be folded into a double fabric. It can be worn both inside and out, with two colorways.

The LINGON Scarf uses 5 colors to create a color block pattern.
The cast-on will create an invisible seam, from which double knitting will be used as a technique to create a thick and luscious fabric. At the same time, a combination of colors will be used in blocks to establish the irregularly striped pattern. An Italian Cast-off will create the same seamless end as for the cast-on.

LINGON means ‘lingonberry’ in Swedish – a beautiful and sweet red berry that grows in the bountiful forests in northern Sweden. The mix of colors in the yarn used as well as the normal time of year for lingonberry harvest being at the beginning of fall when we start using hats and scarves is what inspired this name.
