Thanks to some waiting room time and knitting in bed my Rosewood Sockhead Slouch is done!
Pattern: Sockhead Slouch Hat by Kelly McClure
Yarn: T & H Fiberworks Heather’s Favorite Sock in the Rosewood colorway
Needles: US 1 and US 2
Mods: I worked the main hat until 11 inches and then started the decreases
And this time I decided this hat definitely needed a pom pom. I sewed on the snap and auditioned pom colors for Jellybean and the Hubby. They both agreed on white so that was that!
I think this hat looks equally good either super slouch or with the brim folded into a more traditional stocking hat. And the pom pom adds a nice finishing effect. The yarn with the subtle variegation really lent itself to this kind of pattern. While it would have made good socks, it makes a spectacular hat.
My daycare provider has a birthday coming up and she spends a lot of time outside exercising her German Shepard. I can’t decide if she is enough of a hat person to like this hat. She is TOTALLY knit worthy, I just don’t know if this project is exactly her thing or not. I need to figure out a sneaky way to suss this out, lol.
Happy Knitting!!
