This kit is available as part of the fabulous Bendigo Project!
The Sheep Show Hat has been designed by Kath Martin Designs. It's knitted in an 8ply (DK) weight yarn, and we've selected three different coloured sets that really make the cables sing.
About the Kits
The kits include:
- 1 x 100g skein - main colour (for the body of the hat)
- 1 x 33g skein - contrast colour (for the brim)
This is enough to make a hat in any of the four sizes included in the pattern (with yarn left over, especially the main colour!)
The kits are available in three colour sets:
- Copper Set: Cantankerous Canary (main colour - 100g) and Beach Bum (contrast colour - 25g)
- Green/Blue Set: The Real Teal (main colour - 100g) and Mint Condition (contrast colour - 25g)
- Purple/Pink Set: Bubble Yum (main colour - 100g) and Berry Naughty (contrast colour - 25g)
Please note: the knitting pattern is not included in this kit. You can purchase the pattern here.

Sheep Show Hat - Bendigo Project
Hand wash gently in luke warm water, using a neutral non Eucalyptus wool wash. Eucalyptus based wool wash has been known to strip colour, so over time, it may effect the colour of the yarn.
Dry in the shade and store your knitted/crochet item flat.
I spend a lot of time working on the images to be as colour accurate as possible. There may be colour variation due to both computer screen resolutions. There are also colour variations due to the nature of hand dyed yarns.
