Fruktträdgård



Recently I made this lovely hat for a knitting friend diagnosed with cancer.
I'm very happy with how it turned out and I hope that she likes it too.

This is the Frukktradgard hat pattern. Yes. I said Frukktradgard. :)
Isn't it beautiful? All of those lacy leaves. I love it!

I knitted this out of the yarn called for in the pattern, only one skein of Road to China Light from The Fibre Company. What lovely yarn this is. I highly recommend it!
Check out my latest podcast episode for a review.


You will find the Frukktradgard pattern available here.
The yarn is available here through the The Backwards Loop.

I'm getting ready to start a second Frukktradgard for another friend
of mine out of the Aquamarine colorway of Road to China.
I'll be sharing pictures of that one soon!

    Everything about this hat is lovely - the leafy pattern, the color, and the care you put into each stitch. Your friend is lucky to have you in her life.

    The Chloe sweater is really popular lately. I like those colors together. I am really envious of all that watermelon clothing and of those adorable facial expressions. Wish I could do that.

    The hat is A ridiculously beautiful color. Probably my favorite that I've seen anything knit in so far.
