I'm back again with another completed project. I was having a difficult time with an afghan I was making so I took a break from it and made another cap using the Seafarers Cap pattern. It took a tiny bit less than a 5 ounce skein of Red Heart worsted weight yarn in the painted desert color. I love this hat pattern and I can see myself becoming obsessed with making many more of these. It is a warm, basic hat that can be left as is or dressed up with pompoms, buttons or flowers. I like that the brim folds over and keeps the ears toasty warm. Enough with the gab already, show the the picture!
I hope that everyone is staying home and not going stir crazy. Many of the craft stores sell things online with either curbside pickup or delivery for their customers safety and convenience. Maybe it's time to break out the board games that have been gathering dust. What ever you do, please stay safe.
Hugs,
Sharon
Nice to see your hat. Love the colorway. I finished my Seafarer's tonight and it's quite small for my small head. But I am not going to frog it - and it will be on its way to Australia and my friend and her family can gift it if no one can wear it.
ReplyDeleteI like your retreat!
Going to buy more yarn would be ludicrous since I have an SOS that will outlive me.
I opened one of my containers and took out an unbanded worsted in a cranberry/dark color and will actually do a gauge. 45 stitches cast on doesn't seem to be enough for an adult.
My finished hat is shown in my Projects in Ravelry under DalesMelody.
Stay safe and High Five from southern CA.
I use a hook 1 size bigger and it seems to fit better. You have some nice projects on Ravelry.
