The Design

Here is what Lisa writes:

This hat tries to convey the sense of wonder nature brings and how fragile it is. We often don’t see the beauty right in front of us. Our lives are surrounded by ocean and sky that we often never see more than the surface of. This little bear is awed by the stars in the sky. Let’s all take a minute and look up tonight and see why….

Knit in Malabrigo Rios with their new solids line in mind (yay!), in five sizes. Both moon and star motifs are included as the point in the sky the bear is gazing at.

This hat will change completely if the bear is knit in brown or black, changing from a polar bear to a forest bear!

The field of stars is charted out, but if you miss a star or fleck or add one, just go with it. As long as the snow and stars are randomly placed, the finished product will look fine. Be your own designer, don’t get bogged down in the placement!

A moon is included that can be used in the sky instead of a star if desired.

Yarn and Colorways

We are duplicating exactly the yarn and colors that Lisa used in her original .

*****

Our Kit is almost the same as the beautiful hat by Lisa that you see on this page. 

A: This is the exact yarn and the exact colorway that Lisa used. From Malabrigo, the yarn is Rios, 100% superwash merino, with 210 yards/ 100g.  The colorway is an almost-solid called Ravelry Red. This is the true red you often see associated with the Christmas season.  

B: For the Natural colorway we offer Rios again, this time in Ivory.
