Here in lies the problem with blogging knits so long after you finish them. I can't remember how I came to knit this one! I'm sure I saw it in Knitty that fall when, like everyone else, I crashed the site the day it came out. I do remember

I'd like to knit another one of these with more substantial yarn - and something not so warm - so I can have a summer version. This one is more suitable for fall. I did pick up some Cotton Ease for it, but couldn't get gauge. I've also got the idea in my head on how to design my own version. It would be constructed differently and I think it would be better. Also, I want to put cables on the top of the hat. I don't know when I'll get around to that.
Well, for what it's worth, this one really does look quite fantastic.
ReplyDeleteIt's funny that you don't like it because I really do! I think your version has finally convinced me I do need to make one :)
ReplyDeleteI think it looks fantastic! Do you think cotton will hold its shape any better? Maybe if you starch it...
