Notes

I have a lot of this yarn in my stash ( a gift from my daughter in law), but had a really hard time deciding on the colors.
I am planning on making two hats , one for me and one for her.
Starting with my hat to get the hang of it…
Color A: Turquoise
Color B: Romario ( light green)
Color C: Holly ( dark green)
Color D: Off White

Using Tillybuddy’s very stretchy cast on :

As I don’t have #10 needles with 16” cable, I will be using two circulars throughout the project.
Edit that: I bought a 16” cable #10 needle just for this.

December 16: Ended up using only one of color A. It came out nice and is a nice fit. Now on to the second hat. Gave the first hat to my daughter in law as it fits her very well.

For the second hat I picked which colors to use and will make the second hat for myself in the smaller size.
Starting hat #2 on 1.11.2022
A: 3027 ( turquoise)
B: 831 ( green apple)
C: 879 ( dark gray)
D: 860 ( champagne)
1.13. I finished my hat in record time! Only two days smiling_face_with_3_heartsIt came out really nice. I love the color combination.
