I added 1.5 - 2 inches more on the length before beginning decreases on the larger size to accommodate my Hot Balloon Head. It was a good purse project. But the best part about it? This yarn. Bloody hell! (in my best Ron Weasley voice -- or Rupert Grint, whichever you prefer) This North Star yarn is super soft and light!
"Not an itch in sight."
Two thumbs up. 1) hat that fits 2) no itch

I've been blocking it on my actual head since it's been rainy here, everyday (This drought state girl is not complaining I promise!). My head is warm, the rain is not, all kinda works out you know what I mean?
This weekend, I'll see if I can minimize my obsessive cookie baking behavior (no promises) and get to town on that damn Cardigan.
Wishing you all a fabulous weekend, full of the good stuff for you and yours.
Great-looking hat. I need to be on the lookout for Nirth Star yarn.
ReplyDeleteCardigan knitting isn't even close to being on my "to knit" list.
Cute hat...and no itch? WIN!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty hat....I can see the stitches defined perfectly; just the way I like them. Good job.
ReplyDeleteBlocking a hat while wearing it.....Brilliant!! Way to make good use of a rainy day! Note to self....check out North Star yarn. :-)
ReplyDeleteLove that--I received some beautiful yarn as a gift (180 yards) and think it will have to be a hat.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty hat -- and a very convenient way to block it!
ReplyDeleteYay for hats! And you look great! I am getting ready to start a textured one for a friend. I wish I could wear them, but I look soo stupid in them. No really, stoopid!!
ReplyDeleteNice finish. Simplicity can be the best.
ReplyDeleteI love your hat. Im so glad it is not itchy..!!! You deserve a soft lovely hat!
ReplyDeleteIt looks great! I'm not familiar with that yarn, but I may have to find some descriptions of it. Have a good weekend!
ReplyDeleteLove it, and it really suits you. I must make a hat for next winter so I'm taking notes. Wishing you a good Sunday. CJ xx
ReplyDeleteI have taken a break from my vest knitting to do a hat too.
ReplyDeleteGreat hat!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you are finally getting the rain you desperately needed.
nice hat!! we had a bit of sun that was most welcome after clouds.
ReplyDeleteFun hat, and oh, so handy in the rain! Rain here, too, and lots of wind as well. Definitely hat weather.
ReplyDeleteAwesome hat. Rainy here too. Perhaps you also live in California? xoxo Andrea @ This Knitted Life
ReplyDeleteYou look so cute in your new hat! It's a great simple style.
