Round and Round We Go with the Colourful Carousel Hat!

We’ve got a fun-to-knit little number for all you colour lovers out there, so step right up and see our latest pattern, the Carousel hat!

If you’re ready to venture beyond a two-colour palette and into multicolour knits, the Carousel hat or matching yoke sweater patterns are the perfect playful projects to begin with! The palette contains three deeper and darker colourways, and three lighter or brighter ones. But though the contrast between lights and darks must be sufficient to allow the pattern to read clearly, you can really mix it up when it comes to hue (what you might call ‘colour’…learn more about colour terminology here).

So if you’re ready to get playful, start experimenting today!

Simple, punchy, fun-to-knit geometries

For me, there’s something incredibly joyous about this kind of small-repeat colourwork. You’ll change colour every two or three rounds, and if you’re anything like me, that means you just won’t wanna stop knitting!

And if you’re more of a sweater knitter, we have a matching yoke sweater design called the Carousel sweater – check it out!
