October. Peacock Chic Cap

The Autumn palette is warm, rich, earthy and vibrant, and stretches from leaf greens to old gold, 
​
and from every shade of peacock to soft clay pinks.

Choice of colour:
Peacocks have a great variety of colors in their plumage, and the colors named
'peacock blue' also come in significant variety. I chose it for its magnificent bluish green shade - one of my favourites.
Yarn: Vento d'Italia, top-line knit 
​
​2 balls of Italian Angora Rabbit (70%fluff rabbit, 30% nylon) 

50 grams each -  350 meters each

The hat is knitted with 4 strands  together

​Needles: 3,5 mm

Pattern: Fisherman's Rib

I used this yarn to make an earflap cap. There are several ways of how to knit this kind of hat. Some knitters do it from the top. Some add a visor. I think the one I used was the easiest. You start with the earflaps. Then you cast on what you need for the front and the back and keep knitting. Finally, you shape the top. I didn't use circular needles - that is why my hat has a seam. It is visible but looks neat and nice.

You can attach a pompom to make it more adorable and trendy.
