Bunny hat - Silver Mist Rose Red
Knitted from one ball of Orkney Angora Incredible 100% angora DK, in the silver colourway. The pattern is Ysolda's Rose Red. Mine is therefore a Silver Mist Rose Red.
The pattern was an absolute delight to knit. Interesting and not difficult - and it looks pretty impressive.
I LOVED knitting the yarn. Whilst it sheds - as you would expect from a yarn made from such short fibres as bunny hair - it is deliciously soft, silky and oh so fluffy.
The hat (I made the M size) fits perfectly. Don't expect any give - there is no stretch in bunny fur based yarn, but my oh my it is WARM!

Wish I had bought some of that yarn in that colour instead of the hot lipstick pink that caught my eye. Three years after buying it I still haven't knit with it as it is just TOO LOUD! Even for me, and I'm not quiet.
I love the look of this beret on you, I'm sure it will be toasty toast too.

Lovely, lovely, lovely. I adore the colour, and it goes with your red hair so much! Ooh, and pp, hot pink sounds gorgeous as well- don't fancy a hot pink beret? You could hum the Prince song as you wear it (ok, raspberry, rather than hot pink, but... you get my drift).
