Lots of Knitting, Not Much Swatching



Why am I knitting hats for bears? This hat is swell, from the summer Knitty. I was knitting it as a gift for an adult size recipient, but things didn’t quite work out as planned. You know how it’s really trick to judge size on circular needles, and things always come out a lot bigger than you think they will? Almost always.

Despite the size issues this was a delightful and easy pattern, perfect for my first fair isle project. As soon as the sting wears off I’ll be knitting it again in a much larger size.

Seriously--why is it so impossible to tell while it's on the circs? Nonetheless, it's a cute hat, and a small-headed recipient will like it quite a bit.

Hats are the bain of my knitting life too. It still looks super-cute though.
