I have been in a knitting mood lately! I have apparently also been in a "let's do that again" mood. Having just repeated a cowl pattern, now it's this hat's turn. As I've been cleaning up my craft room this fall I have noted that I have a lot of printed patterns and books. Part of this is listening to the inclination to use my hard copies instead of zooming around online to try to find things in the moment. I'm glad I am finding some favorites.
This hat is from a book called Slip Stitch Knitting. I have made a couple things out of it over the years, and there are definitely more I've got my eye on. It took me just a week to finish this fun project. The slip stitching makes it interesting, and a worsted weight hat is just so fast, so it's a quick reward of a finish. I really enjoy this lovely blue iris color, and there is just enough dye variation to make it interesting without overwhelming the pattern. I got this yarn on a trip down to Pacific Grove, and it gives me ocean vibes. Cozy it's chilly and I need a hat ocean vibes. My favorite kind! It's made for a bigger head than mine, so it looks kind of funny in the model photo, but I'm confident the fit on the actual intended head will be even better.
