I’m really stuck on hats right now. Soon I will have some substancial projects to share I promise.

Pattern: Claudia Hat (Ravelry Link)

Malabrigo Merino Worsted in Paris Night

US 4 & 6 DPN’s

Not much to say about this pattern. It’s completely lovely in the malabrigo (as almost everything is!). Fits perfectly for my tastes, nice & stretchy. I screwed up the ribbing on the top 1/2 of the hat. It’s supposed to be 2X1 but being me I did 2X2. I like it just fine & I didn’t realize my mistake till I had got to the decreases.

This pattern is completely lovely. Easy to read, easy to follow, just plain EASY. Lovely finished product too. Just enough mindlessness knitting to be good for using your brain for something else. I don’t know why more people haven’t knit this, but you totally should!
