Wollmuschi is a new (to me) designer who seems to specialize in beautiful standed knitting patterns.  

Mucky Star is a lovely hat! :-)

Please get your pattern from the designer's Ravelry page here or from her website here.  What we offer is yarn to knit this with.

The Design

Here is what Sandra writes about this pattern: 

THE MUCKY STAR hat is a seamless bottom up design with a stranded motif in star-like shape.

For this pattern you do not have to catch floats for the most part. Only for the last couple of rounds. So set yourself up with some good music and a cup of coffee.

You can decide between two versions. Version 1 starts with the MC for the headband. Version 2 starts with the CC and ends with the MC on top.

It comes in only one size but you can adjust the hat by playing with the gauge a little and going up or down one needle size.

Yarn and Colorway

Some of the hats as I see on the project pages were knit using sport weight yarn and some in fingring weight.  As long as you can get gauge, either seems to work. You can see our kit in the inset photo on the top picture and again below that.

Our kits use a heavy fingering/light sport weight yarn -- not the same that the designer used for her original but a very fine yarn indeed.

Our yarn is a really delicious one from Dream in Color, the yarn they call Lamb & Goat.  This is 90% NZ wool + 10% cashmere and has 190 yards/ 50g. Absolutely yummy!

The kit consists of one skein each of Dove (a gentle gray) + Sea (a rich teal).
