Shadow Hat Experiment #4

 The two knit fabrics side by side are very pretty and very different.
The white shows the intended pattern much better
but the hat on the left is color saturated!
 The hat looks mostly colored and the peeks of the white show but a little.
You would never know they are the same pattern.
I liked doing the experiments in color
exchanging the main color for the contrast color.
I think the pattern was wasted on this version
as it is when you use a wildly colored yarn for cable work-it just gets lost.
I have four new baby hats and a lot of good experience with color now!

  2. They are ALL pretty. But, I think I like the LIGHTER one better. There are going to be some very happy babies soon.
