A little hat for a little girl

 

 

I have a feeling this place has been left unatteded for a while!

 

But here I am again, with a quick knit i.e. a hat for a one-year-old kiddo whose Dad has been kind enough to give me some of his sheep fleeces that I have been washing and carding for a few days now in order to spin the fibers!

 

As for the hat itself it was highly improvised from 95 stitches cast on 3mm needles – 2/2 ribbing, fancy stitch (purl row, 1/1 row), yo row, garter stitch, stockinette stitch and a pom pom made this medley hat. The emerald yarn I used is fab, Lana Seta Baruffa DK (70% wool / 30% silk) – it is a soft and well-defined yarn.
