Alana Dakos knows leaves. All kinds of leaves. And I love them all.
This hat has been in my queue for a long time. I had the yarn for it last fall, and I just had to have this hat before spring. The pattern was quick & very easy – not too complicated for a first lace project. Since this is in the round the ‘rest rows’ are very clear & the lace just flows. The hat went from start to finish in just a few days.
The yarn is Malabrigo Sock in Ivy. I used a size 2 needle for the brim & a size 4 for the hat.
Another little one arrived this week – only this one wasn’t due to arrive for quite some time. Facebook has been great with updates and pictures & those pictures just left me thinking – “That little baby looks cold – she needs a hat.” And hats I made.
