Notes

the yarn says dk weight, but i´m not sure. casting on 3mm needles, so multiplying length and height by 1.5. making the hat much slower, but i like the density of the fabric. ribbing done in plain dk, and then the body has a merino-silk blend added for fuzz.

blocked, and need to cut and re-do ribbing…

cut band and re-knit ribing on size 2.5mms. perfect!
