Notes

Held 2 yarns together throughout. The one running through the whole hat is the Bee Balm.

06-27-2021

The Amitola Dawn and Embrace skeins were stash choices and I selected the coral and pink out of them to highlight the squares.

The big triangle was Bee Balm + Velvet (the dusky purple solid), and at the very edge of the large triangle Bee Balm + Field (a mulchy green). I should have left out the green, but I hadn’t planned out the color scheme ahead of time.

I think the hat benefits from using one strand vs. held together, if you can stand knitting a hat out of fingering yarn.

06-27-2021

The smaller triangle on the back of the dusky purple started with Bee Balm + Dusk, then a stripe of +Hummingbird in a medium blue, then broke yarn and started an ice blue section of Hummingbird and continued that with the Bee Balm until the apex of that triangle, ending in a purple color. Then started on the two coral/pink squares.
