First Crooked Paths hat quickly found a new home. I enjoyed knitting it a second time in quick succession. I really enjoyed the Rios and love the stitch definition and softness. Since I don’t like a lot of slouch and read that the Rios was blocking big, I used the usual 5s for the brim and 6s for the body. Tried to do a little steam/spritz block, which worked fine. I might really soak and wet block next time it needs a wash. Adore the colors!
