A Hat for Myself


I have been so busy trying to complete my Christmas gifts, hats and scarves for family, that it was exciting to actually start and finish my very own. I found this amazing yarn at a shop in sStillwater called "Darn Knit Anyway" which is wonderful! It's the same yarn I used for a friend's scarf. It was just too perfect I had to share.


Viveca Hat:

Origianlly from Berroco here, this hat is worked flat. But, as I prefer to knit in the round when doing hats, I found a great conversion done by a "Raveler," "Ravelry'er"...someone on Ravelry here.

Notions: 
16' size 7 circular knitting needles
Stitch marker (but I honestly just use small rubber bands)
Size 7 DPNs
180 yards of a not-so-stiff worsted weight yarn

I love this hat because of it's amazing slouchiness and the gathering. It is a great one- to two-day project. The pattern is easy to memorize and it is a quick decrease to the top. Just LOVE it!
