I've got a new knitting pattern out for you all today! I'm so in love with this one you guys and guess what? That's right...it's a freebie!!! In honor of some special news I've got to share and a new yarn I've been crushing on, the YARNSTER hat is here!!!
Named & designed after my sweet friend arika, the YARNSTER hat is your new go to slouch hat! Featuring a lovely openwork mesh stitch, the YARNSTER shows off the gorgeous, subtle colorways of that fave yarn you're crushing on!
Made with malabrigo's new yarn - rastita, a super soft, slightly felted, dk weight with tons of yardage (you could maybe squeeze out 2 of these from 1 skein if you unravel your gauge swatch) this hat is comfy, stylish and fun to wear. It's also a quick knit which makes it a lovely gift for that special person in your life or as a special treat for yourself. it makes a great beginner/intermediate pattern for those of you who are looking to learn how to increase/decrease throughout a pattern and to knit in the round.
THE YARNSTER PATTERN FEATURES:
:: clear and easy to understand step by step instructions
:: bright & colorful photography
:: 1 page color PDF pattern
:: a great knitting experience

Special thanks to my gorgeous sister Camille for modelling for me! Isn't she stunning? Have you tried rastita yet? Isn't it fab! Do you have a fave yarn that would work perfect for the YARNSTER?
