I needed a hat for my Seattle son-winter temperatures have hit hard there
and since he works outside, he needed some insulation!
It is knit from an old ball of Universal Yarn Inc, Classic Shades which is a single ply worsted weight yarn. I knit over 100 stitches in K2, P2 on #8 needles. It worked right along.
I decreased out the purl stitches first and then reduced the knit for a nice smooth and round crown.
I will send it out in their Christmas box today!
Now I am ready to work on my sweater again -I am so close to a finish on that!
And I found what I was doing wrong on the mitts-I am in the knitting groove again!
That's just a wonderful guys hat. Thanks for the recipe ! love the colorway
ReplyDeleteAlways nice to have a nice, simple knit once in a while!
ReplyDeleteThat's a beautiful finish on the top of that hat. I always hate how most of them look.
ReplyDeleteThe hat is just beautiful. The way you did the top is elegant!
ReplyDeleteWow, I love the hat, especially how the crown looks with the decreases you used.
ReplyDeleteThat hat will look great on his big ole head — it will make the green of his eyes really stand out! Don’t you wish you could hand it to him yourself and give him a big hug? — I am really missing him!
ReplyDeleteIt is a great hat, he is going to be toasty warm.
