Once a month, I get my nails done and this set is really brightening up a dreary week. ☔️

Finished my Frost hat #testknit. It's a lovely hat to #knit.
Thank you to @samlovesyarn.bsky.social for having me along for the test.

If you join now, I’ll make sure you’ll still have the full three weeks if you need them. It’s a super fun pattern with a diamond pattern on the body and a cozy folded brim.

The test knit for the Frost hat has just started but there’s still a few spaces left. I’m also knitting along to make a second sample. Fancy joining? forms.gle/RvcA2KC9f95K...

These all will work well, the higher twist will make the cables pop more. So pick whichever you like best!

The slightly fuzzy nature might make the pattern less defined, but it should work. I’ve used both a high-twist sock yarn as well as making another one in a single ply more fuzzy yarn and both look great - just different. I’ll send the pattern tomorrow and you can always try a swatch first

Thank you. I’ll look over everyone’s reply and get started tomorrow. 🧶😍

I’m super pleased with how the crown decreases worked out, it took a few tries and lots of frogging to get it just right and I love it so much.
