Hey yall! I finished the hat! I had to alter the ending because I was running out of yarn and I wasn’t (1) going to dye a new skein to finish it and (2) there was very little left to finish. I dyed the yarn myself with Tin mordant and Blackberries :). 

The pattern for the hat can be found here

There it is :D. I wish I had a better camera to capture the color 

8PM
It picked up the color as soon as I put it in. I wish I had a fancy camera so you could see the way the dye ran up the yarn as the yarn soaked the water!

Btw it’s a crappy camera but the color is a deep purple not blue

This is the mordant you use to get Greenish hues in yarn with Natural Dyes
