I actually started this hat awhile ago but since I finished it in November I'm calling it my November project. Another one for the stack of holiday presents. Brown is not a color I'm normally drawn to but when I was choosing yarn I decided to break the blue/grey/purple rut I was in.
Here is the hat sitting on a bowl to show the shape. It hasn't been blocked yet and the stitches will even out a bit when I do that.
Here is the hat laying flat I don't know it you can notice but the way it is made the edge of the brim rolls up a bit. I like that because it is different that the knitted band on a lot of hats.
The pattern is from the book *Sock yarn. One skein wonders*. Knitters will notice I didn't use sock yarn but with the help of my yarn shop friends was able to make changes to accommodate the yarn I choose.
What next? I'm not sure.
I like brown so to my eyes this is very pretty! I bet the hat will be comfy to wear.
ReplyDeleteI love it. You're right to choose something different. It keeps your attention and doesn't get monotonous. What a nice gift this will make for one of your family/friends.
ReplyDeleteOh I love this style. Great job I love sock yarn. B
ReplyDeleteLooks like you are right on track with your Christmas gift giving. You have so much time and energy in these gifts, I certainly hope the people who receive them appreciate the effort (and love) you put into each gift.
ReplyDeleteI don't know anything about yarn, so you could have told me it was alpaca and I wouldn't have know the difference. At least I know (now) it isn't sock yarn. I DO know it's beautiful yarn, color, and style. I also know you did a great job knitting the hat, too.
It looks beautiful and I actually like the brown. I can see that hat on a man's head. Rolled up brims are nice and it fits this hat very well.
ReplyDeleteReally nice job! That is a very nice color brown. Just taught my daughter to crochet and she is so proud she is making her BF a scarf for Christmas.
ReplyDeleteNice model and color. Worn here, it would have to cover the ears, so a bit longer and tighter, imo.
