At long last… its done…
At least the first one is. I plan to make a second (in different colours). It looks a little oversized here, but my model, Roxy, actually has a really small head. It should be just perfect for the recipient.
I need to work on my pompom making – I never wind enough on to make them full and lush. I may remake this one, but I’d like to make a scarf with the remaining rainbow yarn so I might not have enough. We will have to see.
Details of the knit
Pattern: My Bakers Hat for the cast on, and crown decreases, Deathflake for the chart. The deathflake was repeated three times around the hat.
Yarn: Black – Brava from Hobbii (almost one full ball) and Rainbow – Universe XL also from Hobbii. (maybe 1/3 of the ball but probably less.
Needles: 3.75 mm… patterns calls for 4mm, but I couldn’t find mine and I was too lazy too look to hard. The 3.75 worked out just fine.
Now, this one goes into the gift box and I have to get started on a second.
