Notes

Loved my first go at this pattern - so here’s my second version! Makes me think of autumn maples, as evening falls…

Again one of my favourite gradient yarns: Queen from Twisted Fiber Art, in colour way Potluck (from a previous club). I LOVE the orangey-red and the turquoise combo, but wasn’t as keen on the gradient colours they morphed in to - a bit muddy. So once the tree tops were done, I switched over to some extra Queen yarn in colour way Terrace (a petite coordinate of the Waterfall evolution colour way).

Did pattern mods suggested by others: made the trees one row taller and added 3 rows prior to the k2tog last row.

Note that this pattern is on the smaller side - was planning to make this in the Large size but forgot.

Update - after wearing this hat, I would NOT make the trees an extra row taller, but would try size Large. I find the hat tends to bulge up at the very top; perhaps a sizing issue (or how I knit up 2 colours!).
(…) I’ve now blocked the hat and it fits a bit better, but still rides up on my head. Large size next time!
