Morgenrot

Morgenrot is what we call the pinkish red glow that often is seen spreading across the mountain tops at first light, and this hat is inspired by the vistas on my favorite Slow Stitching retreat in Switzerland on the sunny slopes of the Riederalp. The first rays of light reflected pink off the snow and the rock. First only at the very top, then reaching further down the mountain. The Morgenrot hat features offset graduated mock cables that start higher in the back and on the sides. The pattern subtly and asymmetrically slopes down to a point on the left front. And you won’t need a cable needle, there is a special easy technique that achieves this cabled look!
