#alaska hat

Project Page: Alaska 1 // Alaska 2

Well, for once everyone got their gifts on time this year! Even if I did have to finish them up on the plane. This hat was a lesson in patience. Using fingering weight yarn is always a struggle for me, as is two-color knitting, and the yarn didn’t actually gradate the way I wanted so I had to hack it up & rearrange to get the look I was going for. The double brim took fifty years. I would’ve done the decreases a bit differently, but I would’ve had to rip back quite a bit and at a certain point I just wanted the thing done. And I think it turned out great! I’m thrilled it fits and hope my bro enjoys it.

Look, don’t ask me why, but I took a selfie, and then I posted it.

Working on this hat for my mom for next winter. Just got to the colorwork portion! A little early for winter as spring has just got here, but wanted a short little project since my local yarn store is hosting a Sock-a-palooza in June.

Now to pick new colors...
