Brown C.C. CopyCat Beanie

In the heat of July I was suddenly visited by an inspiration to knit a beanie :)

The yarn is a recycled 65 g of Filitaly Macas, 60% Baby Alpaca, 20% Merino, 20% Nylon, 650 m/100 g in three threads. It is very soft and luxurious and was the remnant from a gorgeous poncho I knitted for Gaby. Back in 2016 I made her boot cuffs to go with the poncho, but they proved unpractical, the yarn was too soft for such items and kept breaking and Gaby wore them only a couple of times.

This summer she went through her knitted wardrobe and retired a few of the items, the boot cuffs among them. I unravelled the boot cuffs, straightened the yarn and overdyed it with black to achieve this deep chocolate color, which I love so much.

I didn't even consider any other hat pattern, I knew I wanted another C.C. CopyCat beanie - my fourth! One day I might return to other hat patterns, but I'm still fascinated with this simple beanie and I can't get enough of it :)
