Hat extravaganza

Since I don't knit socks, I've been using hats as my portable summer knitting projects. They've been a fun way to try out some new cables and techniques and make a dent in the single skein section of my stash. I've really enjoyed being able to sit outside and knit this summer. I'm definitely going to miss this when winter returns.

Here are the hats, in no particular order:

Hurricane

Pattern: Hurricane
Yarn: The Plucky Knitter Merino Worsted "Best of Blue"

Trilobite

This is my all time favorite hat pattern. I hope to make a few more of these. The lattice pattern is so addiction. See my first version, here.

I test knit this for Lucy at { a black pepper }. She always does amazing work with cables and this pattern is no exception!

Narragansett

Pattern: Narragansett

Yarn: Pigeonroof Studios DK Superwash "Crepe Myrtle"

And a scarf to mix things up

Opera Scarf

Pattern: Opera Scarf

Yarn: The Plucky Knitter Merino Cashmere Nylon Sport "Forever in Jeans"

If I were to make this again, I would add one or two more pattern repeats and go up a needle size or so. It was a little too narrow and the sample has more holes in the lace pattern.

Now that I've made a sizable dent in my single skeins, I'm tackling my the sweater yarn portion of my stash...just in time for fall.
