Product Details
London Fog is a super cozy, boldly textured hat. I just loved this Falkland Islands Wool from Blacker Yarns - it’s a gorgeous mix of Merino and Shetland fibers that’s soft and lofty and beautifully delicate. I’m a fan of bigger needles, so I chose to work it doubled, creating a round, worsted weight fiber that retains the delicacy and lofitness of the fingering when worked into pattern.
I selected a motif with distinct lines, some fun twisted cables, and a bit of lace - which really shows off the squishiness of the doubled fiber. The overall effect creates a hat with a lot of bold geometry and a satisfying, chunky look to it, but the doubled fiber is lighter and more delicate than a bulkier yarn would be.
As always, there are instructions in the pattern for how to modify this for depth or width, and it’s easier than you think. :)
The sample was made with Blacker Swan Falkland Islands Wool 4-ply worked doubled. A suggested substitute yarn is shown below.
