Saratoga Beanie Kit - Chunky

THE KIT
The Saratoga Beanie is a fun, reversible hat that can be knit up from a pattern written for several yarn weights and looks like it would be the perfect base for a furry pom pom. Kits include a printed pattern, a hank of chunky yarn and a coordinating pom pom in an organza bag.

PATTERN
Saratoga Beanie, from Aspen Leaf Knits, is a simple pattern written up for worsted, light bulky, bulky and super bulky yarns. This advanced beginner pattern will work up quickly with the Road Trip/Heard of Cats yarn we've included in this kit. We think the "Light Bulky" pattern will work best for this yarn. US sizes 9 & 10 needles (or size needed to obtain gauge) are recommended for this one! Hang on to the pattern and use it again with other yarn/weights from our Shoppe or your stash. 

YARN
This Road Trip Sock Yarn / Herd of Cats chunky weight single-ply is perfect for the Saratoga Hat! The bright colors are part of Ali's Winter Road Trip collection and the cat-inspired colors were dyed to match kitties at the shelter. This 100% Superwash Merino is so soft and fluffy, you and your furry friends will love snuggling with your new hat. Ali dyes each of the Herd of Cats yarns to look like a specific animals at Denver Dumb Friends League and then donates a portion of her proceeds back the shelter! We love to help her do this. 100g/100 meters

POM POM
A Herd of Cats pom pom has been included in this kit so that each hat has a proper snap-on, snap-off furry topper. Ali makes each one by hand and we hope you like how we've coordinated each pom to your yarn!
