This is the Fana Cap from Hats On – I’ve completed the body and am ready to start the crown decreases on the next row. This is on size 6US needles, and is being knit in Cascade 220 (red) and Patons Classic Merino (grey). I really enjoy the way these two yarns are working together – the Cascade is a little crisper, so the colorwork really pops, and the softer Patons lets the background stitches blur a little.
Also started – Liesel, in Lopi Lite. Here’s the gauge/pattern swatch. The color does not come through at all – this yarn is a gorgeous coppery heather.
They’re both beautiful! I was thinking of doing Liesel in some rose-colored cotton later in the fall, and I’ll be interested in how yours develops.
