Newsboy Cap

I did this hat in Louet Opal yarn (100% merino wool. 225 yds to the ball) I used 1 ball in dark grey. I used a size 7US needle.

It was a very good pattern. I'm glad to be able to help Fran when I can.

(More from our test knitter on her blog!

Bucket Hat

The little fellow in the photo is my son, who was one year old at the time. Wow, was it hard to get him still long enough to take the picture! He is showing us a stick that he found.

The hat in the picture is the first bucket hat that I ever made! I used Elsebeth Lavold's Cable Cotton-- it took almost exactly two balls, with enough left over to add a chin strap. The yarn had a lovely feel, but being 100% cotton yarn stretched out a bit. I think the pattern would do very well in a yarn with more elasticity, or would be fantastic as a felted hat. I blocked my hat by placing a wide can (about the same diameter as the crown) inside a mixing bowl, positioning the hat with the crown resting on the can and the brim on the edge of the bowl, spritzing well with a teaspoon of corn starch mixed in a cup water, and letting it dry for a couple of days.



  Brim down.      Brim up.     All stretched out.

Memories of Bohus Beret

A Bohus inspired beret.

I used a no brand 100% alpaca I bought on Ebay from someone in Turkey. It is all natural colors, no dyes used. I used less than 50 gms of the off white and dark. brown and less than 25 gms of the beige.

Unfortunately, the best Fran could do for a picture was a scan, so the picture on the far left has a shadow on it that makes it look like the hat has a crown. It doesn't, it is a beret!
