Sugar is a slouchy hat design by Lori Offers that combines Silk Cloud with Shibui’s Cima, an Alpaca and Merino blend, and Tahki Crystal. You always hold two strands of yarn, but change the pairing as you knit.

The result creates subtle bands of related colors, with the Crystal providing just a bit of sparkle.
