Pea hat
Wednesday October 8, 2008 – 6:08 pm
…or maybe it’s a Granny Smith apple hat. This is 72 stitches, toddler size I guess. And for want of a 16" #7 circular, I’m learning to be a puppeteer with the double-pointed needles. I gotta find a yarn store that’s open. I have a Jo-Ann close to me but they don’t carry the 16" circs.
Looks like I gotta find a very big baby or a very small toddler… little kids’ heads are huuuge! Crazy huge, practically the same size as adults’ heads.
Just about to start the decreasing. This is my first time doing real two-color knitting. I might have overdone it with the loops in the back, I was being super careful not to let them cinch up too tight.
The yarn I used: Vanna’s Choice, in Sweet Pea and Kelly Green. The pattern I used is called Berry Baby Hat by Michele Sabatier.
