Description
Skill Level - Easy
Part of our Two-Tone Collection. When you buy this hat, you get the patterns for all our two tone hats, knitting needles, 50g of each colour yarn of your choice, a needle for sewing up, and a pompom.
A straight-forward knit. For anyone who wants a bit of subtle pattern, and a bit more of a challenge. It includes an optional fixed brim, worked using a conditional caston, but with the option to choose the traditional fold-up hat brim.
As with all Gorgeous alpaca DK kits, it's warm and cosy, but lightweight and breathes well. The alpaca yarn has a small amount of 100% natural sheep's wool blended in, which makes it easy to knit with, and still retains that wonderful alpaca softness.
You can choose the colour of the pompom during checkout.
This hat can be washed by hand or in a machine on a wool wash at 20 degrees.
Supplied with 100g (225m) Gorgeous DK yarn made from 75% alpaca/50% wool, 4.5mm needles, a darning needle, and a faux fur pompom.
If you are buying a knitting or crochet kit, and you run out of yarn, please contact us. We will always supply more. This will only happen occasionally, when your tension is significantly different to our pattern advice. However we want you to finish your project whatever the reason, so just contact us with a photo of the stage you have reached and we will send out some more.
I got a Knitting kit. I had a lot of fun knitting my hat. It fits really nicely and keeps me warm and it is really good quality. The instructions are really clear and it was my first time knitting.
I needed a warm hat to keep me happy down at the stables mucking out on cold mornings. My lovely hat kept me beautifully toasty & comfy. Really good fit and individual while being on trend at the same time. Fab
I loved the way that it came packed in the box with everything that you need to complete the cushion cover. The instructions are easy to understand, I might need some help with the buttonholes. I've probably done about 10cm today, it's been quite therapeutic, the wool is so soft, lovely to handle
Alpaca yarn is soft, durable, luxurious and silky. In fact, it's stronger than mohair, finer than cashmere, smoother than silk, softer than cotton, warmer than goosedown, and more breathable than thermal knits
While it's similar to sheep’s wool, it is warmer, not prickly, and has no lanolin, which makes it hypoallergenic.
The fibre has a unique hollow quality that means it keeps you warm when it's cold, but keeps you cool when it's hot.
IThis means it's also naturally water-repellent. As evidence, we wear our hats in the rain and come in with totally dry hair ... so finally, knitwear that you can wear in wind, rain and sunshine! I

They say you can tell a cold water swimmer because of the smile on their face - it is so uplifting! But getting warm afterwards is essential, and nothing is better than one of Gorgeous Alpaca's hats - warm, soft and beautiful to look at. Thank you.
