This is such a great pattern; I highly recommend it. Very well-written and easy to follow. It even includes a couple photos showing how to do the daisy stitch, so I think it's beginner-friendly.
The hat is a beanie with just the right amount of slouch. The twisted rib is wide, to cover your ears. And just look at that texture!
I won't lie - working the daisy stitch every other row is time consuming. But I think there's a big pay-off. I wouldn't hesitate to knit this again in another color.
The crown is decreased quickly, to give that gathered look at the top:
A very satisfying project. And one of the best parts is, I still haven enough yarn left over to make some matching mitts!
That is a beautiful Gail and I adore the color, I think plum is THE color for this season, I love it!
ReplyDeleteOooh, stylish without even trying! Cool!

ReplyDeleteThat yarn is gorgeous! And the texture of that pattern is such a great fit for it. [Added to my Ravelry queue!]
ReplyDeleteSuper cute! I want to knit a big-ish beanie for myself this winter. I'll definitely have to remember this one.
ReplyDeleteWow, that texture is lovely, and of course the yarn choice is fantastic as always.
ReplyDeleteOooooo I LOVE your hat. This has to be one of my most favourite colour - and I can't go past a bit of texture! Perfect!
ReplyDeleteOoh, this is gorgeous! I've had this in my queue for ages-- may need to bump it up to the top!
ReplyDeleteI wore it on our walk today, and that wide ribbing really kept my ears warm!
DeleteI love that colour... :) You have to model it! :)
