Ísdemantur Hat Kit (Hand-Dyed Yarn)

A kit to make Ísdemantur Hat by Agnieszka Dzikiewicz-Krawczyk (Home of Cords) using Martin's Lab hand-dyed yarn – sport weight (Highland Sport or Bouncy Sport) or DK weight (Highland DK, Comfy DK or Tibetan DK).

Ísdemantur is a stranded colorwork hat inspired by Icelandic glaciers – ísdemantur means “ice diamond” in Icelandic. The three-color jacquard shows different variations on ice crystals. The pattern comes in a child size and two adult sizes, so you can wrap up the whole family – each in their favorite color.

Each kit includes:

• hand-dyed yarn in 3 colors, in the base and size of your choice (see the table below)
• a Martin's Lab printed cotton project bag
• a sachet of no-rinse wool wash

Yarn in the kit:

In the L/XL DK kits, Color 1 is a 100 g skein – choose it for the color you use most.

This is a pre-order: after placing your order, email me your chosen colors (or write them in the order note). The yarn is dyed to order and shipped within 3 weeks.

THE KIT DOES NOT INCLUDE THE PATTERN!

The pattern (in English and Polish) can be bought on Ravelry – click here.

From Ravelry pattern page:

Yarn:
Sport weight (ca. 300 m/330 yds in 100 g) or DK weight (ca. 200–225 m/220–245 yds in 100 g) in three colors. Both weights give a similar gauge – the sport weight hat is thinner (though still warm thanks to the three-color jacquard), the DK hat is thicker and cozier.

The hat in the photos is size S/M, knitted in Highland Sport and Bouncy Sport in navy (MC), blue (CC1) and ecru (CC2).

Needles:
US 2.5/3 mm and US 5/3.75 mm or size needed to obtain gauge; circular needles 40 cm/16” or 80 cm/32” (for magic loop).

Gauge:
25 sts and 26 rnds = 10 cm/4” in stranded colorwork in the round on US 5/3.75 mm needles, after blocking.

Construction:
A seamless hat worked bottom-up in the round, starting with a German twisted cast-on, in three-color stranded colorwork. The colorwork charts come in two versions, depending on whether the main color is light or dark.

***

We recommend reading about yarn care before washing and working with the yarn. Although every effort is made to exhaust the dye bath of color, you may find a little color bleed on the first washes.

I try to depict the true color of yarn but please remember each monitor will be different. If you have any questions regarding the color, feel free to drop me an email.
