I've been knitting hats lately.



Pattern: Picot Cloche, by Carol J. Sulcoski
Yarn: Manos del Uruguay Wool Classica (0.9 skeins) on US 8 needles
Notes: I knit an extra inch before the decreases, and then knit a plain round after each of the first two decrease rounds.



This lavender one is for me, but the second one is for my mom.



Pattern: same
Yarn: Malabrigo Yarn Merino Worsted in glazed carrot (0.62 skeins) on US 8 needles
Notes: same as above



This was actually my first time knitting with Malabrigo, and it was a dream to knit with. Just lovely.
