This was a fun hat! Krampus Hat

So! This is a free pattern from Morale Fiber but I enjoyed making it. A few notes though, I will not, not, NOT crochet into slip stitches.  Just no.  On the horns I did sc’s instead.  Otherwise it was fun to make and I’d like to make another! I used scrap yarn for this one to practice.  I made several other changes, but that was just my personal preference.

This one sold already but…

I think I really like Sugarwheel yarn.  I can totally do color changes manually but I’ve decided ones that fade by themselves are just as good!

I like this yarn, but it’s not as stiff as Red Heart Ombre.  I like the stiffness of the Red Heart because my hats hold their shape so well with it.  Also the Red Heart has a softer transition of colors, whereas this has a much more defined change between colors.

However, I can go fully from dark to light with no repeats with Sugarwheel so this might be my new fav!  Forest Fairy Twisted Witch Hat

Shame on you all

Oh also check this out.  From left to right, Red Heart Super Saver (Claret), Red heart Super Saver (Mulberry), Lion Brand Wool Ease.  The two red shades are a 4 yarn (in theory) and the  black one is supposed to be a 6, super bulky.  It feels like a 5 at best these days.
