I've moved another project from my WIP (Work in Progress) basket to my DONE! shelf. I took up knitting last (?) year and have managed to finish a scarf, started another and then made the big leap to a hat. I love the slouchy hat look, I've made several crochet versions. I tried this one because it was supposed to be really easy. And actually, it was. Of course, by now, I have lost the pattern, but if/when I find it again, I will give proper credit to the designer.
New knitting skills on this project:
- Knitting in the round
- Increasing/decreasing
- Binding off a circle
For this hat, the stitches decreased at the top of the hat, ending up with a relatively small circle - then how are you supposed to maneuver the needles? That was a bit of work, but I'm sure I didn't do it right.
I don't think I'm up to a sweater yet, still need to work on getting my stitches smooth. Actually, I should go ahead and make another hat because I'm sure this one is going to get grabbed up by someone in my house who thinks it matches her outfit.
