A New Red Hat


Behold, my new red hat! After knitting my brown one, I wanted more. One in every colour!

I had some crimson coloured yarn left over after knitting my cabled jumper last year. The yarn is 'Savanah" yarn, which is a 70% wool, 30% alpaca yarn from Bendigo Wollen Mills.

This time I wanted a more slouchy hat, more of a beret than the previous brown one I made. I had a sheet which gave me how to start a spiral shape for a shawl, and I figured I could do this, continue out for the diameter I needed, then decrease back to the circumference of my head. So that's exactly what I did. 



My new hat is warm, it fits me perfectly, and slouches just how I want it. Now I want one of these in every colour! I might even venture to putting a pattern in it somehow. That just might take a little figuring out how to do. Watch this space to see what I come up with!
