Ingrid's beanie

Some of the most viewed posts here on this blog 

are the ones I posted about my visit to Sweden last year. 

See the posts here

Not only is Sweden a very attractive society to live in, 

there is also something everybody loves about the Swedish style.

A certain “je ne sais quoi”

 the architecture, the traditonal patterns, the colours...

300 years of Swedish textile design

So I designed this beanie with these colours in mind 

Blue, white, red, green, yellow and brown 

and of course the Dala horse, the snowflakes...

I used the fantastic Organic Poll Dorset yarn

"Troubadour" from Renaissance Dyeing 
located in the French Pyrenees

Fingering / 4 ply (14 wpi) 

Ecru, Puivert, Troubadour , Miraval , Narbonne , Os.

I really love this yarn !

A big thank you to the model, Ingrid Anna
