Mossy green & grey is my thing lately. But whereas before I was unsure I’d like this colorway for a Penny Candy Winter pullover, now that I did the ‘hat test’ I am utterly certain I LOVE the colorway, and enough to knit a whole sweater with it! Boy oh boy does that colorway tickle a spot for me, evoking rich growth of moss on the trunks of the Black Oaks & Firs all around the woods where I live.
Oh, did I mention that I submitted the Penny Candy Hat pattern ? No ? It must have totally slipped my mind ! You can find the pattern on Yarnings HERE and on Ravelry HERE . Penny Candy Hat was designed to be a gauge test for the upcoming pattern Penny Candy Winter pullover , but now I am thinking it’s just lovely as a hat pattern sold all by itself.
This little blue striped one I’ve made for someone who is turning Twelve this coming week , and which I will show off modeled on her birthday. Besides lace band, and lot of fun stripes, to match her sweater, it has a pinto toorie !
And in case you don’t know what a ‘toorie’ is, well, I’ve also made a tutorial on how to make them on my Tips From The Table ~ “Making a pom pom & a toorie”
Cute wee hats!
Hi there Lizzi, Thanks !

Marianne, anybody else who would choose moss green & grey has got to be my soul mate 😉
Beautiful hat, Jen! In my queue already!
Hi Dianne ! It would be lovely to see it pop up in your projects 🙂
Adorbs!!!! I really love the greens.
Such a natural colorway really, and thank you !
Well, a toorie looks a lot like a pompom after a few snowfalls! 😉
P.S: Those hats are adorable!!!
