I first heard about Dull Roar when Jan’s mum knit up the Howlcat pattern for the shop. She worked it in Malabrigo worsted and lace, just as the pattern calls for. It was so cute and combined 2 different weights of yarn, something I find rather intriguing. Yet it’s so simple, just a little twist and the whole things changes from hat to cowl! It’s like two knits in one.
Well this past week I was re-introduced when the new Fooler Faker pattern came up on Ravelry. The photo makes it an instantly irresistible knit and I just happen to have a bit of a Malabrigo worsted stashed away! I am knitting my first FF hat for Hunter who is currently torn on the color of pompom she would like. Next up a matching one for Jones? Malabrigo worsted is buttery soft and is really perfect for this pattern, I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Thanks for the great article..
