So last night I decided to skip what would’ve been my first trip to the knit night at Starbucks ( I was feeling bummed from some bad news) and stayed home to power through and finish the hat I was working on. The pattern is Capucine by Adela Illichmanova and I knit it in Cascade 128 that I dyed with Kool-Aid.
The pattern is super easy to follow and knit up pretty quickly. I don’t like mine nearly as much as the example photo for the pattern, but it was fit for bulky weight yarn and I was eager to knit up what I had dyed. The hat is kind of kooky and looks cute on but I’ll be giving it away. I just don’t like pink that much, but I’m sure I know someone who does.
I may make another of these eventually since it was quick and easy. I would really like to make one more like the example.
It’s looking less pink here
Borrowed from the Ravelry page for the pattern.
Cute pattern! My daughter would LOVE that shade of pink! Does the kool-aid color come out if you wash it?
The citric acid in the kool-aid is supposed to set the color. I washed the yarn in tepid water and regular detergent and the color didn’t run so I think it should be ok.
Cool! Thanks! I’ll have to try it.
