This is a hat that I made last month, but didn’t ever have the chance to get a photo of it until today. It’s the “Fern Green Hat“, but obviously not Fern Green:
I made it out of Stonehedge Fiber Shepherd’s Wool, in Granite. It’s so soft and cozy! The original pattern is a real beginner’s pattern – make a garter stitch rectangle, seam the sides into a tube, and gather the stitches at the top. Instead, I knit it in the round, but used a no-purl garter-in-the-round technique. The end-of-round line is more visible than when knitting it traditionally (knit one round, purl one round), but it made for a quick knit, and the end-of-round section looks a little more decorative than the straight “seam line” I’d have gotten from knitting it in the round the usual way:
Rather than trying to gather all of the stitches together at once, I did a couple of rounds of decreases first. Details on my Ravelry project.
At least all that snow is allowing you to catch up on your FO pictures. Another lovely finish.
Great Granite hat! Plus you get extra points for braving the cold today today for a photo shoot!
Looks like a hat that will get a lot of use this winter!
Excellent! Today you need a nice warm hat!
Lovely hat! Warm is the name of the game this week and you won!
Perfect!
