I was looking for a hat that would work up quickly and easily, and was a little on the slouchy side. I spied this hat by Judy Marples on Ravelry, and just had to make it. However, I wanted to do something different with the yarn. So instead of using the Worsted Weight Yarn that the pattern called for, I used one skein of baby yarn, and one skein of sock yarn together. This made just about the same weight as Worsted. What I like is that because of the yarn that I chose, it is a lot softer, and drapier. It feels so nice to the touch, I just LOVE my new hat! Again, I am not a hat person, but I am working on mittens to match, so I guess you just might see me sporting my new hat around town!
I needed a proper model to show off the hat, so my friend Lisa happily obliged.
Of course now I have to make one for her.. lol ;)
This is one of those hats that you can pull all the way to the front and have the top stand up more, or wear it like Lisa does, hanging down the back. I bet a beautiful silver pin on the side would look great.
You can find the pattern on RAVELRY. Again, if you don't have an account, make one! It's free!
