Snowcap Hat (Twinkle Weekend Knits)


YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I finished that hat tonight! My first project from the Weekend Knits book!

Wear-wise, it's fine. It's the type of hat I'd wear on a day when I'm trying to hide my 'bad hair day' hair...


Knit-wise, it was easy! And, as far as I can tell (at least in this pattern anyway) there's no errata!

This is a pretty basic k2, p2 rib pattern with decreasing towards the top and then sewing a left over strand of yarn thru stitches at top, pulling it tight, etc. etc...

So my hubby is sitting here telling me that this hat can't really be the gauge for if this 2nd Twinkle book will be chalk-full of errata like the first one.

Um, thanks hubby...


I know, I know...

This was an easy one. Maybe (after I finish the Twinkle Hoodie) I'll try a tunic or something a little more involved that k2, p2 on circular needles...

But in the meantime... YAY!

Twinkle Weekend Knits Snowcap Hat



Ok... So I've pended the Twinkle Hoodie (from Big City Knits) to start a hat from the latest Twinkle book...

I can't help it! It looks easy and...

a little part of me is just curious to see if this book is written differently (ahem... Better) than the Big City Knits book.

I just did a little Google for errata on this new one and didn't find anything... yet... :)

So far, the Snowcap hat is pretty basic.

I've worked up to the 38 rows in just a couple of hours.





Yarn: 3 strands together of Paton's Classic Wool Merino (Winter White)

Needles: Size 17 - 16"

Etc: one marker, pen & paper to keep track of rows
