So after an eager wait for the Drops yarn to arrive, it was time to pattern draft. I had made up the charts, but now had to put it all together for an earflap hat. I wish I had the sense to write out the patterns as I go, but I just pop it onto the needles and off I go, always hoping for the best.
I wanted some waves around the bottom and had planned on some green grass too, but that couldn't fit into the design as it was, maybe I could have shrunk the puffins more.
I Swiss darned Puffin motifs, rather than try and carry all that yarn around the inside. Then lined with a lightweight fleece for added warmth and finished with multi coloured tassels.
Beautifully soft 4 ply yarn with a blend of 45% Alpaca, 30% Polyamide and 25% Wool. I have plenty left over and can't decide whether to horde it or make socks.
These are currently listed in my Esty store, however I am planning a revamp later, the postal charges have risen yet again and it's not viable to run my store in the current format.
