The Snow-Speckled Knit and Crochet Hats are so incredible. Easy to knit design that captures winter and possibly a Christmas feeling all-in-one.
I was really captivated by the concept of the original by Erin Kate Archer but the colours weren't speaking to me. When I think walking in the snow, I think about the nighttime walks with huge flakes gently falling with the street lights illuminating the snow. It's quiet and probably one of the most peaceful moments. I designed that a wine colour is more elegant and reflective of nighttime to grab onto those feelings.
I'm less than 2 months into knitting and I know already that my stitchwork with Red Heart Super Saver isn't as even as other yarns that can mask stitch tension better. So I opted to switch to Patons Lincoln Fog as my colours of choice. I used Silver for the brim, White for the snow and top section and wine for the deep colour. It turned out so well. With the yarn being 75% acrylic and 25% wool, it means the hat will be warmer than using 100% acrylic for my personal needs. The yarn has a natural halo about it that hides imperfections of stitch tension a bit easier. I will say though, I'm getting better with practicing almost everyday.
I'm so proud of myself to have knit this, only 2 months into the process of seriously learning to knit.
Crochet Version
Sarah from Repeat Crafter Me was so inspired by it as well that she made a crochet version using Split Single Crochet. She made it for adults and kids as well. It's really well done.
Crochet and knit have similar appearances at times but now understanding how to knit, I think I prefer the knitting for this type of application versus the crochet. I found it easier to maintain the pattern but that's a personal choice, of course.
