Dog Walking Hat (or Mittens)

Dog Walking Hat

What do you get when you combine a beautiful alpaca/silk yarn and a seed stitch? The Dog Walking Hat! Perfect for the crisp weather that we will one day be getting – and the hat is for you, not the dog! Class price ($45) includes kit with three skeins of Kollage’s new Solace yarn and the pattern. The resulting hat looks much more complex than it is – if you can knit and purl – you can make this hat!

We are offering this class on three dates in October – and you can come to one, two, or all three classes! The dates are: Saturday, October 16 and October 23, and Wednesday, October 20. We would love it if you can pick up your kit before class begins so that you can get started on the ribbing of the hat. Not a big deal if that doesn’t work out – but you’ll get a bit further if you’re ready to start the seed stitch in class.

You will need to bring 16″ US 8 (possibly a US7 or US9 if you are a loose or tight knitter). You will eventually need double points in the same size you use on the hat. We also highly recommend stitch markers and a darning needle.

For those that wish to make mittens instead (hat, mittens, and a scarf are all included in the pattern), you will need double points in a US 8 (again, possibly a US 7 or US 9 if loose/tight). Also bring stitch markers (they are crucial in the mitten). The mittens are “flip-top” so that your fingers can be exposed. If you wish to just make “regular” mittens, Stacy can easily adjust the pattern for you.

For those who wish to make both a hat and mittens – you only need to purchase one additional skein of yarn (the main color). We’ll have additional skeins available!
