I think I've started and completed more projects in the last couple weeks than I've done in the whole last year. A woman possessed....obsessed. Call it what you will, but I'm getting things accomplished!
Skull Cap 1 on the left and
Skull Cap 2 on the right I managed to eek out of 2 skeins of Peace Fleece (aran weight) yarn. I'd forgotten how much I liked this yarn until I pulled what I had left from 2 felted messenger bags I made a few years ago out of my stash for these hats.
Skull Hat is a free pattern available on the Knit Two Together blog (thanks Gina for being so generous!). One aspect of this hat that I LOVE is this folded up ear flap:
which not only provides another layer of warmth, but hides almost all the stranded colorwork floats! If you know me at all, you know how happy that makes me ;).
The hat on the left is made with recommended needle sizes and will fit a larger than average head, so the one on the right was made with 1 size smaller needles and fits an average size head. I love this pattern and I'm positive I'll be making it again, since neither of these is for my husband and he thinks it's keen! ~ Melissa
Wonderful! And that looks like a great pattern!
ReplyDeleteWow, you made these for someone other than your hubs. What a great gal. You are sooooo awesome.
