One day I will make this hat without having to re-start the cast on, but this was not that day.

About half way done the ribbing.

Day 9, switching from the ribbing to the straight knitting. Yay!

Ended up really loving this yarn - different effects in ribbed section vs plain stockinette, and the colours are really lovely. Dark with multicolour, like jewel tones.

I can never decide how long to make these. This time I went with about 12 cm of stockinette before starting the decreases, which gives a little bit of a pooch at the top for slouch but not much.

Took a while to finish this because I was also spinning in my free time, so not spending as much time knitting. Also was sick, stupid covid.
