Grey Snowflake



Name: Grey Snowflake
Pattern: Snowflakes on Mulberries Hat
Yarn: Alize Lanagold Classic 240 m / 100 g
Needle: 3.5 mm

120 st turned out too many, so I reduced the snowflake to 5 branches of 20 st each, 100 st total. Tubular cast on with waste yarn, modified from Dropsdesign video. My son wears it pulled a bit too much over his eyes, but that's his custom.
The small label - probably it's wrong, but I cannot stand those small labels on my shirts and sweaters, touching the back of my neck - my skin is too sensitive. Before I just unpicked them and threw them away, but last year it came to me to sew them back on hats as a nice touch of decoration.

  6. I love the yarn you used. I think the bulkier weight, as opposed to the original DK listed on Rav, is perfect.

  11. Oh, I have a hat like this in my queue, but I added this one too. Love it. :-)

    I took a semester of Russian in College, but I can't say I can read it... making a guess as to which button to push. :-)
