If you haven't been able to tell so far, I really love making hats. They're awesome! Super quick to knit, almost always fit, and just great gifts. I also love to wear hats. The trouble is, I almost alway end up giving them away as great gifts. In my knitting lifetime, I've probably knit over twenty hats. Do I own a knit hat? Of course not.
So being the sneaky knitter that I am, I wore Felicity out the day I finished it before giving it away to a friend. I was able to get a few snapshots with me modeling the hat with my SO. It's really a quick knit, and I made this one out of Berraco Lustra. I'm working on one now with a little less slouch (more beanie-esque) for me to keep. (Maybe, we'll see how that goes..)

I love it! How many knitting needles did it take? I'm just learning and might venture to 3 needles next.
ReplyDeleteIt took actually five, there are a lot of increases at one point, and even then the end stitches where slipping of the needle because the Lustra is so slippery. I would reccommend a circular needle for this one.
DeleteAwwww, you guys are so cute! The hat is nice too :)
ReplyDeleteLove it! I cannot wear hats, look atrocious in them! But they are great knits to make for quick gratification!
