Variegated hat finished


Sideways hat

I'm happy with how it turned out! My friend Elisabeth likes it, so I will give it to her. She and I attended a drop-in bookbinding workshop a couple of nights ago, which was fun. In blurred action here.

There's quite a lot of yarn left, probably enough for a cowl and a pair of cuffs.

Very nice hat and I still think the yarn is very special and beautiful.
It's a pitty, that there were no mark on it :-(

Very nice - look (for me anyway) a little like an onion - realy like it.
The pattern is it your own or where can I find it?
Greatings and have a nice day.

Thank you both!

Ann: if you contact Yllet they will probably know what yarn you mean if you describe it. They don't sell that many kinds.

Jane: I improvised the pattern, and I didn't write any notes while knitting it. Maybe I'll try to write it up while I still remember what I did! New projects tend to interrupt such ideas, though...

I love this hat! It is so like a fig and such a pleasingly elfin shape, with such gorgeous, glowing colours.

WIN!

Hey Asplund I see that you have a lot of experience knitting and I was wondering if you have any ideas on a project I'm working on, it's a university project that involves knitting tubes. But we keep getting creases in the tube and it doesn't look very nice, do you have any idea of what we could do?

I like it that you saw the fig in it too, Felix! (I thought about calling it The Fig, so maybe I will rename it.)

Hi stacKNIT! I just had a look at the pictures. What an intriguing project! Not sure about the creases you mention. Could it be the material you use?
