Last week I mentioned that this would likely be a week of hats. And it was.
I started with knitting a Fall hat for A:
Then it led to making DH's Hat, which is a part of my Christmas knitting. I was gifted this skein of Araucania, which is made in Chile. Immediately, DH said he wanted a hat in that. No problem.
I thought about making the Ribbed Watchman's Hat but switched to stockinette after about 1.5 inches. I thought maybe the colors would "show" better that way.
I'm not sure if its the yarn itself, the colorway, or lack of pattern followed, maybe the sizing, but something doesn't seem right about it. I really don't like it. Maybe this yarn isn't meant for this type of hat, I don't know. It does, however, remind me of Fall. So I let DH have it early and I hope I can get around to making him a better one. He was a good sport though and said he did like it. :)
I also have a third Miranda Hat going and am about half way done. My goal was to have 5 knitted by the end of September, so still feeling pretty good about that goal!

ReplyDeleteGlad your DH liked it! My special guy will only wear black and charcoal handmade items.
ReplyDeleteLove the hats and my you are getting them out this week, well done you.
ReplyDeleteHe he I love expression on DH's face :) it is a pretty cool hat and it suits him!
ReplyDeletelove the hats..
ReplyDeleteThe toddler's hat is darling! Now that I'm reading about your Miranda hats it reminds me that I'm falling behind on my commitment to knit a bunch of those. I'd better get moving with them!
ReplyDeleteGreat hat week! I have to say that I have had an easier time knitting baby/children's hats than I have with the hats I have knit for my 3 big sons--adult hats seem to be a bit trickier getting right. Great picture of the husband though!

At the rate you are going, I am sure you'll hit your goal by end of September.
ReplyDeleteI am in the middle of a hat marathon also..both hats are great..along with your models!
ReplyDeleteI think the hats look great! I usually have issues when sizing hat, just make them extra big and roll the bottom!
ReplyDeleteI think your hat for DH is great :) And A looks super cute in his hat :)
ReplyDeleteLovely hats, A looks really cute in his!
ReplyDeleteReally love the little guys hat. Not sure about the colors in the second hat but your hubby does look great in it.
ReplyDeleteCute picture of hubby modeling for you. I love the color, looks like the hat turned out great to me.
