I cannot decide which yarn to use so… I may make two hats.

I ran out of yarn from the leftover skein, so I had to start unraveling some from my sock yarn blanket…! I did not win this round of yarn chicken. Anyway, it’s now finished and I guess I should probably block it, but also it is way too big?!

Gauge should have been 28 / 42 per 10cm, but mine was 32 / 34 per 10cm. So I think I should probably go down a needle size next time. Interesting, since normally my tension is tighter. Maybe I’m loosening up in my old age?

Well, I just sold it to Jules so I think it’s done! ;) I will definitely treat myself to more of that yarn. Jules refuses to take the hat off! :D
