Folded
The replacement hat (for the original hat really is a bit too worn to use for photos) is clipping along nicely.
The biggest slow down is that I keep stopping to fold up the corner and admire how it comes together.
Sometime even going so far as to move it over to circular needles (one of the very few things circular needles do better than DPNs is wrap around curvy things like heads).
This does not make for speedy knitting. I mean it’s satisfying…but not speedy!
I really am looking forward to seeing this hat finished in it’s renewed state. It seems like the perfect pattern for car trips or evening knitting when I want something that will turn out nice but not require too much pattern reading and complicated stitches and counting. I usually have a plain vanilla sock for this sort of knitting but I think your hat might have to work it’s way into rotation too.
Yeah, all the way up through the decreases it really is super mellow (and then the decreases are over quick, even if they are a tiny bit more fiddly). It’s pretty chill!
