Knitting: Sweet Pea Hat

Sweet Pea Hat

Being Blocked

Being Blocked

Learn It

This project was made as part of a Craftsy course:
Circular Knit Lab: Hats Four Ways »

Instructions

My gauge was a bit smaller than the pattern called for. I went up one pattern size, and it worked out perfectly. Next time I will make the i-cord on the top of the hat longer.

The project is being wet-blocked because the Guanaco has so many guard hairs that I thought it might help soften it, plus it makes the stitches so much more even.

Difficulty:

Category: Knitting

Type of item: Accessory

For: Women

Style: Cute, Casual, Whimsical


Materials

Aslan Trends Guanaco - 60% Alpaca, 40% Merino Wool

What was your inspiration?

The Guanaco yarn...so cute.

What are you most proud of?

That I didn't make any mistakes (that I'm aware of). I'm a fairly new knitter, and circulars and DPNs were all new to me.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Watch the videos, then watch them again, and again. Go for it!
