This is a rather delayed post from last Friday, my FO for last week is a pink slouchy hat. The yarn was donated for me to make preemie hats, but I have been told they are not needed at the minute. The Loving Hands website collects all sorts of knitted and sewn goodies to distribute to various charities so I decided to make a couple of full sized hats to send.
The yarn is Peter Pan 100% Acrylic from Wendy, I was impressed with how soft and non squeaky this yarn is. It is a little shiny, but for an acrylic yarn it is really pretty good, I would use it again, especially for toys, baby gifts etc. The pattern is Slouchy Lace Hat by Just_A_Girl.
I worked the middle size using 4mm needles and increased one stitch every five (K4 kfb) for the increase round. I worked a few more decrease rounds then pulled the tail through the stitches and tightened it to close the hole.

sI tried this on for size, it fits and it is the only hat I have ever tried that doesn't make me look ill!

Still no sock yarn blanket square, it has been rather neglected for the last few weeks, but when I have cleared my WIP backlog I will catch up.
What a great hat!
ReplyDeleteI got one almost exactly like it from the Vampire Swap I just participated in. I'm waiting for my Spoiler to post in her projects so I can try the hat using my Alpaca blends instead of sock yarn.
