I love this hat so much it
almost makes up for the fact that our fall weather didn't last very long this year before cold wintery temperatures kicked in. At least I can wear wool every day! I knit this hat from the pattern book "
Made in Brooklyn" by
Jared Flood. I almost never buy pattern books, but this one has about 4 patterns that I seriously want to knit (or maybe I just want to
wear) right this very second. And because they are designed by Jared Flood, I really couldn't resist buying this book - his designs are so elegant and usually involve very little seaming, which is the kind of knitting I love.
This is the Quincy hat, which I knit in
Classic Elite Ariosa. It is a super soft blend of merino and cashmere and is pretty bulky, so it knits up really fast. The hat pattern is amazing. You basically just knit a long garter stitch band, twist it, sew the ends together, and then pick up stitches for the top of the hat. Super easy, but brilliant...and I love wearing it. Oh yeah...and did you notice the lack of handknits on my poor cold baby? That is being remedied...stay tuned!

i noticed that hat in your shutterfly pics and loved it. i'm glad to know it was your creation :)
the color is great on you and i love the pattern.
It's a great hat, thanks for sharing a link! I am just about to learn how to shape a project, having finally gotten comfortable with casting on, knitting, purling, and binding off, lol.
