Notes

My son Hayden LOVES hats. Knit hats. His part time job involves him working in coolers and freezers so its a practical choice as well as a fashion one. Tho I do love that he loves the hats I’ve made him, I’m tired of the kid wearing the same hat almost everyday. He needs a few more to add into his rotation.

Cast on 104. Love the fabric and feel. Grows fast. Got up to almost two repeats when I noticed that I had messed up just before the first repeat ended.
Gah.
Frogged.
Going to start again.

Started again. Looking good. Lots of purling and 1x1 on this hat but somehow I don’t mind it at all. I think I will have a look at other folks projects… it looks like my hat is kinda longish. Might want to start my decreases sooner than the pattern calls for…

Shortened third section by 4 rows. Started decreases after 4 rows. Fits Hayden nicely. Next time I will consider reducing each section By 2-4 rows. But really its not all that long. Definitely a slouchy style tho.

Need to weave in the ends. Wash and block. It fits Hayden nicely. Very thick hat. If I was making for myself I might go down a needle size and definitely makes the small…tho I don’t think of myself as having a small head.

I will try to take some pictures of Hayden wearing it instead of just my noggin.
