Waffle

Two new hats in Alize Lanagold Solids for my father and my son.
Actually, my son's hat is an exact replica of his grey snowflake, which was lost/stolen in a cinema last month. He liked it so much and wouldn't hear of another pattern - so I made him another snowflake. And the other ribbed hat is probably my favorite so far. It's modeled by me today (just a little bit big for my head) before being parceled and sent to its recipient.

Pattern: Grey Snowflake
Yarn: Alize Lanagold Solids 60 g
Needle: 3.5 mm
Time to knit: 2 days




Pattern: Waffle Hat
Yarn: Alize Lanagold Solids 70 g

Time to knit: 2 days





And a simple cowl in decorative yarn, which I made a few years ago:

Another Ribbed Hat

Name: Starfish Ribbed hat
Pattern: Cashmere Ribbed Hat
Yarn: Alize Lanagold Classic 50% wool 50% acrylic
Needle: 4 mm

This is the second of (at least) four ribbed hats I've planned so far, a slightly bigger version for my husband. I know a ribbed hat sounds like the simplest hat ever, but my men prefer these simple hats with folded over brims to any other hat pattern. This yarn is very soft and warm and the hats are really very cozy and pleasant to wear.






And guess who borrowed her son's cosy hat for this walk in the park (me blushing, but it's so comfortable, and I haven't done my ribbed version yet :)

Grey Snowflake

Name: Grey Snowflake
Pattern: Snowflakes on Mulberries Hat
Yarn: Alize Lanagold Classic 240 m / 100 g
Needle: 3.5 mm

120 st turned out too many, so I reduced the snowflake to 5 branches of 20 st each, 100 st total. Tubular cast on with waste yarn, modified from Dropsdesign video. My son wears it pulled a bit too much over his eyes, but that's his custom.
The small label - probably it's wrong, but I cannot stand those small labels on my shirts and sweaters, touching the back of my neck - my skin is too sensitive. Before I just unpicked them and threw them away, but last year it came to me to sew them back on hats as a nice touch of decoration.
