Notes

This cap/hat is pure vintage style! And the yarn compliments it beautifully with its etheral fluff and most perfect duck egg greyish blue…And it only takes an evening or two to complete.

Did not block, as it fits well and my small head cannot cope with a bigger size…hey ho. This style can easily be made slouchier by repeating the repeat 2-3 times more. But then you might loose some of the delicate, vintage feel….

Learnt to purl through the backloop with the help of this great video:link text (just ignore the tacky music and ravel in the fact that it’s continental:)).
