Notes

Testing a lovely fingering weight hat for Kate

I enjoyed knitting top down for a change. It’s a really easy pattern to follow with wonderful results. I find Dpn’s a bit fiddly so changed to a tiny circular sock needle as soon as I could. I only used 1 marker rather than the 8 recommended.

My scales struggled with such tiny amounts so these weights might be slightly different. They include the Pompom 16 gms MC 6, CC1 6 CC2 4gms

The yarns worked really well together
I went down a needle size for both needles as I am a loose knitter.
