Berroco Valadon is a
classic earflap hat that is warm and cozy with fun colorwork and braided
tassels knit in Mercado. Choose three colors and get started! The earflaps are
worked first, and then the cap is joined in the round. Finish with a tassel and
braided ties. Mercado is an ideal heavy worsted to bulky weight
yarn. This 2-ply yarn is offered in a lovely selection of dusky hues that are
perfect for fall and winter. Whether you’re knitting or crocheting, you’ll get
fantastic stitch definition, just right for textured stitches and cables in
your next project. The colorwork is in chart form only.
