Amelia Hat Kit (Hand-Dyed Yarn)

A kit to make Amelia Hat by Renata Grabska (Comfort Zone Knits) using one skein of Martin's Lab hand-dyed DK yarn – Tibetan DK or Comfy DK.

Amelia is a classic hat – beanie or slouchy – knit bottom-up in the round. Its cable-like lacy texture is built entirely from knits, purls and yarn overs, so the knitting is engaging without being technically demanding. The pattern comes in two sizes and two lengths. The original sample was knit in Tibetan DK – a Martin's Lab × Comfort Zone Knits collaboration.

Each kit includes:

• 1 skein of hand-dyed yarn in the base of your choice – enough for both sizes and both lengths (see the table below)
• a Martin's Lab printed cotton project bag
• a sachet of no-rinse wool wash

Yarn in the kit:

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

THE KIT DOES NOT INCLUDE A PRINTED PATTERN – the pattern is free! Download the PDF (English, Finnish, French, Spanish, Polish) from the Amelia pattern page or from Ravelry.

***

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.
