Here’s the Slouched Tuva Hat that I mentioned in my previous post:
The yarn I used was too heavy (bulky weight) and the needles were too big (size US 8). As a result, I have a huge rasta hat! Seriously, the slouch part of this “slouched hat” is ginormous. It’s hard to tell from the photo but this hat really would make a great rasta hat. I’ve decided that I’m going to frog the thing and re-knit it on size US 6 needles instead. Hopefully the new hat won’t be so big and heavy (and slide too far back on my head after wearing it for a while).
Wow! You’re so quick, and the vests were really pretty :)
Hats are always quick knits! They usually require only about 125yds of yarn, about half (or less!) of what goes into making a scarf. The only thing that’s time consuming is all the shaping and wrestling with double-pointed needles.
Thanks! I think I’ve decided that I’m going to be a sweater knitter… rather than, say, a sock knitter. (I don’t understand the hype behind handmade socks! Oh, well.)
How’s your scarf coming along? :)
