Find the free English-language pattern on Ravelry at this link: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/ombre-diamonds-cowl--hat It is really very simple, without great difficulties (apart from the usual attention to the colorwork design)... One caveat: there is a small error in the final part, which we have solved by working the last five rounds as follows:
Rnd 41: (k4, k2tog) to the end of the round
Rnd 42: (k3, k2tog) to the end of the round
Rnd 43: (k2, k2tog) to the end of the round
Rnd 44: (k1, k2tog) to the end of the round
Rnd 45: k2tog until the end of the lap
...then close as indicated and, if you like, make a nice pom pom!
The project calls for a Medium/Aran class yarn.
We have chosen the Canilla Rustica from dLana, which you can find in coils of rustic Merino sheep's wool from Castilla and Leon:
it is a 100% natural yarn, very "full-bodied", which will give your hat the right stability.
Despite its certain rusticity, which may also contain some vegetable residues, this wool transmits a pleasant sensation to the touch and exhibits excellent behavior with needles, especially with wooden ones. But above all... it is a magical wool! With washing (by hand, maximum 30 degrees) it does not get damaged, on the contrary: it acquires softness and becomes more and more beautiful!
It is also an ideal yarn for those who are just starting out in knitting or crochet and for those looking for a good value for money.
