Hi every one, haven't been here for a while :)
I have started working on a zebra hat with hot pink for my DD but I have ran into a slight problem on the hot pink yarn, I have a bright pink yarn ball from Red Heart that's called 'Pretty' color #0722, when I looked online for this color yarn on their website all I found was a pink color called 'pretty 'n pink' which seems to be the same color but I'm not too sure...
Now, I was looking for other colors of hot pink online that can match the zebra hat I'm just not sure if the 'Pretty' is the right shade that will look good on the zebra hat.

Here are too links

Please let me know if you think it's a good hot pink that will go well with the zebra hat like in the Etsy shops :)

Cute hat! I don't know about the color--have you contacted Red Heart?

It looks a little too bright to me, like highlighter bright, iykwim. But I think it's all personal taste. If you like it, go for it. If not, I would just head to JoAnns or HL and look around for something that jumps out at you.

It looks a shade or two too light to me, I think shocking pink might be closer.

Thanks guys! That's what I thought too, it was too bright so I went and bought a hot pink. I'm almost done and will post pic's in the craft thread :)
