I’ll be sending this on to Made by Hand in October, hopefully with one or two others.
The pattern is Ardeana Hamlin’s One Skein Hat , knit in America’s Alpaca Charlevoix on size 8 needles (size 7 on the brim). I modified it slightly by not ripping out when I noticed including a decorative purl stitch row on the knit side just before the decreases for the crown start. I just have to say that knitting this was an absolute pleasure – the pattern is simple, and this yarn is amazing. It’s silky and molten and smooth on the needles – a real joy to work with.
[...] The hats are on their way to Made by Hand! Details and a link to the pattern can be found here: A one skein chemo cap. After knitting one flat, I switched to circular needles for the other two – it’s a really simple change. [...]
