Each of the yarns below offers a great RED for the Melt The Ice Hat. Requires approximately 200-250 yards of RED yarn in your choice in Fingering, DK or Worsted weight.
When you add 1 or more skeins of RED in any of these yarns + a Melt The Ice Pattern we'll include the printed pattern free with your order. Please add the pattern to your cart so we know to include it - you won't be charged for it!
We'll be seeing (and making) a lot of these hats this winter. Let's show our empathy and support for every member of our communities - near and far, familiar or not.
As long as ICE continues to make winter dangerous for our fellow humans let's each show up with warmth, peace, and courage. Join thousands of knitters as we stay warm, give care, and show our solidarity! 🧶
From the designer: "In the 1940’s, Norwegians made and wore red pointed hats with a tassel as a form of visual protest against Nazi occupation of their country. Within two years, the Nazis made these protest hats illegal and punishable by law to wear, make, or distribute. As purveyors of traditional craft, we felt it appropriate to revisit this design."
