Blue Monday is a quick and easy, worsted weight hat and mitten set, designed in Spud and Chloe's super cozy Sweater Yarn. This pattern's a great way to play with colors and a little texture, without getting too complex. Instead of stranded colorwork, an alternating slipped stitch pattern gives the effect below.

It's a great way to play with color combinations. I had a little pink S&C floating around in my stash, so when I was done with the blue version, I whipped off a second hat, which you can see in the pics below. There's something delicate about the pink/brown that I just love. The Waterslide (blue) against the Chocolate Milk (brown) is also great together, and I am dying to mix the Cider (orange) and Grape (purple) as well - some deep, gorgeous shades! But Spud and Chloe has a ton of amazing colors, so you can choose your own.
(I think my pink is Watermelon, FYI).

Anyways, I digress! Color combinations are a little addictive.
It's a perfect spring and summer project - easy to carry, quick to make, free - and you'll be set way before fall comes.
BTW, A Blue Monday is an actual drink - according to Mr Boston's. (p. 132)
