Ana Slouch Hat

I finished this awhile back and am just getting to post about it now. I struggled with the funky bind-off but thanks to your tips from the last post on this I was able to get through it. Turned out pretty cute too if I do say so myself!

First Snowboader Hat

I say first because in true Knitterella fashion I decided to start knitting Christmas gifts now. WIth one month to go I 'plan' to make these hats the gift to give this year.


So far so good, this hat knits up super fast, was fun to make and turned out really nice. Here's hoping I keep my momentum going!

Tuva

Yup! It's a hat.

Yarn: Yarn from The Plucky Knitter/ Merino Cashmere Nylon Worsted Weight, color way Honey Wilkes
Needles: size 7 and 8

Notes: I knitted this is worsted instead of the DK the pattern calls for. I liked the way it turned out. I didn't alter the pattern at all this time but if I were to knit with worsted again I think I'd cast on for less stitches (maybe 20) and increase into the first pattern round to get the required number of stitches for the rest of the hat.
