Pattern/Technique: Morning Walk Hat by Ann Patterson, size large
Modifications: knit first section using US 3 needle to 3.5” then switched to larger needle size. Knit until hat measured 13” from cast on edge.
Materials: US 3 & US 4 16” circular knitting needles
2 skeins (total) Handmaiden Casbah in Sangria held double
New skills: Knitting with variegated yarn
Lessons/Notes: This was the first hat I’ve made using variegated yarn, and I was trying to avoid pooling as much as possible, so I held 2 strands of yarn together (the original hat pattern calls for holding 2 strands of fingering weight) and then kept an eye on whether the colors were too similar between the 2 strands. If they became too similar I would break one strand and offset it before reattaching it.
What I'd do differently: n/a
Care: Hand wash, lay flat to dry
