Grellove

Did you know that UltimateGray and Illuminating are the Pantone Colors of the Year 2021? This color combination is full of warmth and dependability, expressing a message of strength and hopefulness. For all knitters the grellow color combination really is known all over the place. If you are unsure about colors grellow is always a safe choice! The GRELLOVE hat is showing little hearts (or owls, foxes, flowers, fruits...?) and cables all around and a wonderful crown solution. The pattern doesn't call for a cable needle and is surprisingly simple when it comes to the crown. The hat has a one-colored brim, is fully reversible, slightly slouchy and well-fitting at the same time. It's important to note that there is a 4-stitch-decrease to be knit. You can do it, knitters! The hat can be knit in multiple sizes only by changing needle size and gauge; Block the finished cap over a steep-sided bowl or other head-shaped form to smooth the crown. **MEASUREMENTS** 17 1/4"/44cm to fit head circumference 21"-23 1/2"/54-60cm. **DEPTH** 9"/22,5cm. **YARN** Altogether 220yd/200m of DK weight yarn (110 yd/100m of each color).
