sunsets...

Dont know what to call this great colorfull hat and mittens. Something with sun/ sunsets-
The yarn is homebreath, homespun but not by me.
I purchased it years ago at my knitting guield yearly meeting. It is merino wool mixed with silk- yes it has a wonderful sheen to it. The wool has colors in greay, yellow, light green- orange, burned terracotta and pinks..

Mixed in with some plain yellow sockyarn from Froehlich, the color came out quiet different-rather than with the multicolor yarn alone.



The edge is crochet- two rows of plain stiches-







The mittens will fitt a child 2-4 year.

The hat is inspired by a picture I have showing great colors in all red, orange,pink,yellow-I also fancy that inka look- or tibetian look.

It is worked from top- to bottom earflaps.

The hat is actually a little too big for a girl at two- so I guess I have to make another one , just smaller.

I did increasing until I had 88st.( 22 st. x 4 nl)

The rose / circle in front I made just playing around with shape and size.

Close look at colors an shine.... sunset
