Another Diversion
Posted: November 13, 2005 Filed under: Hats, Knitting 15 Comments »Last night I decided I wanted a hat, and this afternoon I finished this:
Meet the Rolled Edge Stocking Cap that uses one skein of Noro Kureyon. This is my fastest project ever! Part of why I knit it in less than a day is because I couldn’t wait to watch the colors change. But to be honest, when I bought this skein, I had no idea that there were so many colors in this colorway (#148). I thought it was just pink and purple. Here is another view of the hat (unrolled) so that you can see more of the colors:
And here is the top color:
A minor heads-up if you knit this hat — gauge is not specified in the pattern (not that I would have checked anyway). I am a tight knitter and I followed the directions exactly. I had very little leftover yarn. So if you are a very loose knitter, you might need to make some adjustments or use a tad bit more than one skein.
I liked this knit so much that I already picked out another colorway for hat #2! If my sister likes the second one, then it will be for her. If not, then it’s another one for me!!
I I <3 Kureyon hats! I knit one for my little cousin, one for me out of leftover scraps from 2 balls (so it's extra rainbow-y), and I've got another in the queue to knit out of silk garden. I used the colorway you showed for your second hat to knit my felted Sophie bag. It's a really awesome pallette. Have fun!
wow, it was a VERY quick knit! and exactly 1 skein! it looks really great and i like the colors. i think your next skein is going to make a really cute hat for sister. but i agree with you – if she doesn’t like it, well, then all the better for you to keep!! =)
Very cute and only one skein!
Nothing like efficiency! Very cute hat, and pretty colors!
Thanks again for that card!
Cute hat! That is what I love about hats, they don’t take too long to make, they are pretty instant gratification. Especially baby hats.
great hat! and a quick project is a good project in my books.
I love making hats now! I’ll have to try that pattern for myself. Isn’t it great that a project can be knit up in a day? Graet job!
Nice! The Kureyon’s striping works great in a hat
Cute hat! I love the colors and that it took 1 skein and a day to knit. It’s pretty hard to beat that.
Wow, the hat looks awesome! I love the colors too. Great job, I’m sure your sister will like hers too
Stop Caitlyn! LOL, You are pushing me to finish, anything. Good for you, your hat is gorgeous. Great Job!
oh i love the hat. i’m usually not a hat person but i do love making them, and wearing them for like 5 mins between my car and my lab.
(ok, going to LYS and scout out some kureyon!)
CUTE HAT!! I LOVE it!!!! i’ve been feeling the hat bug lately too, this looks like a good pattern..
Nice! I like the little lavender splotch on the top. So cute.
