Gray Rose
If you're a fan of modern knitting projects, you'll fall in love with Bare Naked Wool’s stunning collection of neutral colors and luxurious yarns. The softness of these wools, particularly the lovely grays, creates the perfect canvas for your creative endeavors. Pairing these gorgeous shades with scraps of brightly colored leftover yarn transforms your knitting into an exciting and fun project.
This delightful pattern features charming feminine flowers, knitted in the exquisite Romney and Merino 2-ply yarn known as Kent, which is ideal for a variety of projects. The depth and variation in the gray hues of this yarn truly pop when they are placed side by side. Additionally, by arranging the blooms off-kilter in rows, you can achieve a sophisticated look that balances cuteness with modern elegance, making this project suitable for all ages.
The Kent yarn is available in two weights: DK and Worsted. The DK weight yarn creates a smaller, more fitted hat, while the Worsted weight is perfect for crafting a comfortable, stylish hat for adults. Additionally, the pattern includes detailed instructions for customizing the depth and width, allowing you to tailor your creation to your liking.
This knitting pattern is designed to be both easy and fun, featuring a lovely slouch at the top and a wonderfully smushy pom-pom to finish off the hat. With just two skeins of yarn, you can knit the hat twice, alternating the colors of the background and flowers for each piece. This makes it a perfect opportunity to create a thoughtful gift for a friend or loved one!
The example shown is knit in size small, showcasing Tide Pool (a rich dark gray) paired beautifully with Beach Glass (a soft light gray) and accented with a pop of Julie Asselin’s Leizu DK yarn.
