a slouch for all seasons
my hat pattern is featured in this week's classic elite web-letter!
i knit both of these versions in the middle of may.
the white was first, using classic elite's provence. i really loved how it came out, but i just knew it was going to look really great on my step-sister. it did, so i knit another one in bam boo, since it has great drape for this type of hat. i'd never used a bamboo yarn before, but i certainly will again.
since cotton and bamboo can lose shape with wear, i went down 3 needle sizes for the ribbed band, to combat stretch. you may want to up the needle size on the band for other fibers though.
you can queue it on ravelry here
well, i hope you like it!
also, my tilted duster is dry, dry, dry! i'm just figuring out which buttons to use. after a long slump of once-a-month posting, it looks like this little blog might actually have regular content.
see you soon,
melissa
