Old Hat

I finished this hat earlier, but didn't have photos.

Pattern details: Northern Lights Bohus Hat from Handmade/Handknit.

Yarn: bits of Brown Sheep Nature Spun Sport leftover from the felted fish.
Needles: U.S. 6
Gauge 6st/in

I modified the pattern by decreasing the number of rows in the chart. It turned out well, but is kind of light. As Matt says, "the wind will blow through it". Otherwise, it fits well. I had trouble with the technique and couldn't get a rhythm going. So I'm rethinking a bohus sweater.

Gauge Got Me

How could I screw up the Live Dangerously No Swatch Hat? I don't know, but I did. It's way too big. And I knew it, but I kept knitting anyway. I decided the yarn is not right for a hat. Even though I saw some on Ravelry. Now I remember that I planned to make a lace scarf out of this yarn. I hope the fuzziness of the cashmere won't interfere with frogging it.

Hat Resurrected

I pulled out the living dangerously hat with the idea of frogging it to use the yarn for a scarf. I'm still not sure it's the right yarn for a hat, but I decided to continue. That might be the beauty of Ravelry. I looked at all the other hats from this pattern, and mine looked pretty good. Also, I''m looking forward to using an I-cord bind off. I haven't used that technique yet.
