Schnapps was quick to knit the second hat for the week! We LOVE super bulky yarn and the super fast way it works up. This latest hat was knit using one of my favorite yarns, Lion Brand Hometown USA, but you can use any weight yarn for this pattern.
This is a super simple pattern that has great texture. It will look very different, but just as nice, knit in worsted or sport weight yarn. The pattern is easily adjusted for various sizes as well.
Our hat Karmic Kuddles, also knit with Hometown USA is now on the Lion Brand website too! You can find it here
He tried to finish it last night, but sleep won out!
He was up bright and early this morning and got straight to work.
Once it was finished, Schnapps kept one paw on it while taking another nap!
