Handspun Hat

And.... another new hat! This time I'll let the photo's do the talking (mostly). I had a gorgeous skein of handspun, so I knit a simple, slouchy hat to make the most of it. Pattern adapted from my Grammy's hat pattern, I just omitted the ribbing on the body. Love.

Sometimes it's the simplest things that bring the biggest smiles. :)

  1. I'm starting to feel like there's very little that's more awesome than a really simple hat. Not only do they look great and serve a very useful purpose, but they're such an excellent way to show off some really nice yarn — of which you only need a little bit. Awesome.

  6. Yes, I totally agree about the simplest things sometimes being the most satisfying! That hat is gorgeous and I love seeing it from fiber to yarn to knit. All three are amazing!
