Fallen Embers sprang out in a sudden moment of inspiration while I was contemplating what to do with a single, special skein of yarn. During my teen years, Fallen Embers by Enya was one of my favorite songs and my mind’s eye connected it with the deep red shade of my special yarn. I envisioned a shower of falling sparks and an intricate star motif formed by interlacing cables and twisted stitches. I hope this design will inspire you to break out your own special skein and create something to wear and love.

The hat is knit in the round from the bottom up.
Sample shown used approximately 140 yards of DK-weight yarn. Sport or worsted weight yarn can also be used if gauge is met.
Some of my test knitters found the bobble listed in the Special Stitches section difficult to work, so I have included links to alternative bobble techniques in the Tutorials section.
