It's really very simple, without major difficulties (apart from the usual attention to the colorwork design)... Just one note: there is a small error in the final part, which we 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 bind off as indicated and, if you like, make a nice pom pom!
The project requires a Medium/Aran weight yarn.
We chose Canilla Rustica by dLana, which you can find in skeins of rustic Merino sheep wool from Castilla and Leon:
it's 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 residue, this wool gives a pleasant sensation to the touch and works very well with needles, especially wooden ones.
But above all... it's a magical wool! With washing (by hand, max 30 degrees) it doesn't get ruined, on the contrary: it becomes softer and more beautiful every time!
It is an ideal yarn even for those who are new to knitting or crochet and for those looking for a good quality/price ratio.
