Ok. Hatathlon might finish at the end of the month, but my hat knitting mojo has gone! My 2015 goal for hats was four, and I've knitted five, so am happy.
All from stash...
First up we have Tincanknits' Barley. A very simple free pattern suitable for beginners. It ran large, so MrC had to model it!
Knitted in leftover Rowan Pure Wool Worsted from mum's cardigan last year. I still have a ball left!
Second up is a modified version of Astronomer. I was using leftover Malabrigo, and wasn't sure if I had enough of the main colour, so carried the stripes further up the hat. This is showing unblocked, so the decreases are showing up as a bit scrappy - not when you pull the hat down!
And finally, Waffle. This is as described, the waffle stitch, familiar to most sock knitters.
Noro Kureyon, long matured in stash.
Five hats in total, all from stash :)
