stella's hat
in august, i made my first attempt to recreate the hat that my now 94-year old great aunt has been making for 40 years. hers was knit flat and seamed, with a neat flat top. i knit my best approximation in the round out of some gorgeous malabrigo, but was never really happy with the top. well, the other day, i set out to make another, and this time i'm very happy. you'll have to yank it off my cold, dead, head if you want this one, or, you could always knit your own.
pattern: stella's hat (my own) Download PDF here or here's the ravelry link
yarn: nature wool chunky, 1 skein (i've also knit one out of malabrigo)
needles: 5mm, us8 16" circular and 5mm dpns
it's a simple pattern. you'll only need to know how to knit, purl, k2tog and work in the round.
i hope you like it. mwah!
