Welcome to Week 5!

This week we will be working on the Dreamy Hat. This hat matches the Dreamy Scarf of a couple of weeks ago, and like the hat, is soft, fluffy and squishy. I designed this as a beanie but for a different look, I lengthened the band so that it can be cuffed up. I also added a pom-pom, just because they are fun.

The pattern stitch is a super easy one row repeat that creates a horizontal bar and nice texture. I’ve used this stitch in blankets before and really love how easily and quickly it works up.

Thank you to our sponsor Red Heart Yarns, for providing the yarn for this project. I used Dreamy yarn in the color Aqua, but you can choose from seven beautiful colors. This Dreamy yarn is enjoyable to work with and has nice hand feel.  It is considered a #4 worsted yarn, but feels more like a bulky as it produces a fabric quickly. The finished fabric is soft and dense for warmth, without a heavy feel and allows for nice stitch definition.
