Mom’s New Hat

January 29th, 2009 by monnibo | FO, Knitting

Project Details [ravpage]:
Yarn: Michell & CIA. Luxury Collection Alpaca Peru. 100% baby alpaca.
Pattern: Fetching-Inspired Hat [ravlink] by Grace KnitsALOT.
Needles: 6mm circulars (instead of DPNs)

The pattern was very vague, but fortunately, hats with a 5 stitch repeat are fairly easy to manipulate. I held the yarn doubled (the pattern called for bulky) and CO 130 sts (pattern calls for 80). Other than that, I followed the pattern pretty much exactly. I did take to putting it on my head to figure out length, but that all went well!

    Hat turned out very nice and seems to suit your mom well. Maybe I’ll use some of the worsted weight alpaca I have for a hat…hmmmm. I love that pattern and have made it multiple times.

    I love it! It appears to match her hair color very nicely.
