It’s a hat!

Hey! I finished it!

Project Details

  • Pattern: I made it up on the fly. Cast on 80 stitches. 2X2 rib for awhile. Stockinette for awhile. Crown K2tog decreases, four times a row, every other row until it was tall enough, then more decreases every round until I had 8 stitches left, ran the tail end through the stitches and fastened off.
    Yarn: Leftover Peace Fleece in the color Lena’s Meadow.
  • Needles: Size 6 double points

I love it. It’s simple, warm, and snuggly. I have lots of single skeins of heavy worsted weight and Aran weight yarn in the stash that would make good hats. John has been giving me the sad side-eye, but he’s NOT getting this one.

And he’s going to have to wait a bit. I need to finish a few of those SEVEN shawls before I cast on anything new.

Stay tuned.

  1. That was fast knitting! Giving you false hope about how fast the shawl finishes would be perhaps.

  2. Such a pretty color. Peace Fleece makes so many pretty colors. I wouldn’t give it up either. I have to knit a hat & mittens for myself. My partner has a bad habit of leaving the outside door standing open when he’s doing yard work. I asked him repeatedly not to & he refused to believe moths would get in. Well a few months ago I noticed moth hors in almost all of my hand knit socks & my mittens.
