Schnapps decided that we had to work on a more unisex hat this time.......so many of our hats are for women. Thank you Louisa for the name!
Schnapps chose this lovely Charisma variegated yarn and worked it up first.
Then he chose this Cozy Wool in this beautiful green and worked it up as well!
It's a super fast knit and an easy 2 row pattern, so you can knit this in no time at all, using any type or weight yarn. Instructions are included for sport, worsted, chunky and super bulky yarn. It works for both men and women and with solid or variegated yarn too.
Enjoy!!!

are u using US size 13 needles and super bulky yarn for the instructions at the top of "strength"? i see the info for other yarn weights but the cast on instructions don't say what weight yarn or which needle size you are referring to.
ReplyDeleteYes, if using super bulky yarn, use size 13 needles and cast on 48 stitches. Sorry!
DeleteI love your hats! Schnapps is so cute!
