Notes

02-22-2017

Started the hat over the weekend and am already up to the crown decreases! I tried to do five repeats of the pattern, but decided that it would be too slouchy. So I ripped back and decided to only do four repeats. I think that it is going to fit much better! I also decided to do the ribbing on size 2 needles, and the body of the hat with size 3’s.

I finished the hat at about 1 AM this morning, and it, and the mitts are taking a bath now!
