Notes

After finishing a pair of Fuzzy Feet, had a couple of balls of Poems Forte left. I respun it to a thinner weight single (tedious process!!!) and and then plied with a re-spun cream colored Super Bulky of unknown brand (also wool, I think)… the result is sort of a Aran weight marled looking yarn… that seemed ideal for a couple of hats. ** Finished hat weighs 70 grams… I think there was about 300 yards - so approx. 70 yards for this hat.

Started with size 10 circular - but size 8 seems to be a better choice. Not going to do over… but top is definitely a little breezier. :D Now, if I could just figure out this brim… I got the directions all mixed up and am putting it on inside out. Back to the drawing board!

Slightly longer than I thought it would be, so I lightly felted it and it’s much better.

My dear hubby, who usually doesn’t comment on my knitting, says that this is ‘pretty nice’ - high praise! :D
