Today I took my new hat out for a spin.
Who would imagine that this is what it looks like once its been knitted and blocked?
Does this look like a hat to you? There is no opening in which to put one’s head. But then, you tuck one half into the other, and voila! You either end up with a white hat with a blue brim, or you can turn it inside out and you have a blue hat with a white brim. Magic!
It really is a lovely hat, and the wool is soft and bouncy. I used the pattern A.N.T. (A New Take) by Aimee DeBaun, with a couple of skeins of wool from stash, which I had purchased in Copenhagen a few years ago.
It has a very nice crown:
Since the hat is a double layer of wool, and the brim is a quadruple layer of wool, it is very warm and cozy.
But wait, what can this be?
Someone has nicked my hat! And he is brazenly wearing it! He looks rather pleased with himself, no? I hesitate to say it, but…..it looks great on him!
Whose hat is it anyway?
a hat in sharehold 🙂 welcome to Britain!
It’s a fabulous hat. I knit the Musselburgh hat and I am beyond thrilled with it. ❤️
Better make more. It’s a great design for fun with color.
It’s a marriage hat: cleverly made, well suited for both. And good looking on both of you, btw.
I think you’d better take back your hat even if it means knitting another one!!!
It’s just an irresistibly cosy hat! The crown really is very smart. You did a great job on it.
Terrific knit and super versatile!!
Haha – so more hats of this pattern in your future.
It’s a house hat now 🙂 Beautiful! That is a very tidy crown, and I love the versatility!
