Coralillo

$7.00

Coralillo is a squishy textured hat that’s super satisfying to work and beautifully distinct in this yarn. A combination of simple 1/1 cables and purl stitches creates a lovely allover “woven” pattern on the body of the hat. It’s simple and eye-catching and allows for a delicate brim ribbing and a beautiful crown decrease.

I worked the hat in a single skein of The Croft Aran to create a fun, bold accessory, with a pop of color. In a gray or neutral, this would a more subdued classic hat. This can be made with or without a pom - the crown shaping is just lovely when it’s not hidden under a pom.

Yarn: West Yorkshire Spinners, The Croft Aran. (100% Shetland Islands Wool, 182yds/166m per 3.53oz/100g skein). Shown in Fetlar 312.

If substituting yarn, a tweed, a solid, or a subtle heather in a heavy worsted weight wool would work best so that the details of the stitch pattern are visible. I suggest a fiber with a little depth, but not much variegation to show the pattern off beautifully. Choose a round wool fiber with memory and minimal drape for a longer lasting, better fitting hat.
