My 12yo made District Band, which meant a weekend away from home for the two of us–she having intensive band rehearsals and me in the hotel room knitting away!
Here are the two hats I finished in a rare weekend of actually having knitting time. The second is the Sideways Grande Cloche from Boutique Knits, knitted in the Cobblestone Heather colorway of KnitPicks Swish Bulky.
The first is a variation of the Watch Capfrom Lion Brand’s website, knitted in 128 Cascade Chunky.
I’m working on finishing my first real project, and am thinking of trying a hat next. I definitely like the fit you achieved with yours … I may just have to check out this pattern!
BTW…AFTER I knitted it the first time, I looked on Ravelry to see about the little cable thing…and found that everyone said they should have gone down a needle size or two…
So, do check your gauge. It’s an easy knit, and I loved the fabric on the needles I was using, so I just cast on fewer stitches the second time around.
