November Knitting 11/5/15


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.

  2. I 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.

  4. Looks 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.

    I 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.

  5. 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.

  6. Really 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.

  7. Nice model and color. Worn here, it would have to cover the ears, so a bit longer and tighter, imo.
