this project took longer than it should have; i don't usually wear slouchy hats, but omg i love this one. regardless, i will stick to my original intent and give this to either my mom or my mother-in-law for the holidays.
woo! finished at last.
Pattern Porom hat by Jared Flood.
Source b r o o k l y n t w e e d.
Yarn Valley Yarns Stockbridge, Deep Purple, 1.5 Skeins.
Needle US 8 (5 mm) and 6 (4 mm).
Modifications It's slouchier than I intended; even more after blocking.
the pattern
as expected from all patterns written by Jared Flood, this one was very easy to follow. i really like the design, especially the detail in the decreases for the lace pattern...
goes well with lavender hair, no?
the yarn
so this was yarn that I bought forever ago at Stitches West. Since seeing Hilary's Snow White in the same yarn, i'd looked forward to knitting with it. i like it a lot; knits very nicely and is very soft.
this was taken when i didn't think i would finish the hat that day.
i have 2 skeins more in a dark grey. i've been trying to decide if i want to make another Porom or another slouchy hat for my mom (since this one may be too big).
soon to come: Thorpe hat with earflaps for Dad.
