Notes

Started with 128s. Failed at checking what the actual gauge is and got ~25cm/64s with 3mm needles. Frogged and starting over again…

October 15th: New start with 120s and 2,5mm needles…
The first try had no clear pattern, but now I am getting diagonal stripes of blue and brown, with splashes of white.
Can’t be helped, as the size is perfect now. And it does look kinda nice, much better at least than the vertical stripes I was getting with 104s and 3mm needles. Gauge seems to be 27s/10cm.

October 19th: Finished! Followed the pattern, other than of course I had different amount of stitches after each round of K2tog at the end. :)

December 2013: I haven’t actually used this, because it is just not warm enough for the time when I actually need a hat. Frogged to make something more useable from the pretty yarn.
