I had to stay up a little later than I wanted, but I did manage to finish my Chocolate Musselburgh! I squeaked out a perfectly lovely adult sized hat that is super snuggly and warm.

Pattern: Musselburgh by Ysolda Teague
Needles: US 8s
Yarn: K-Zip Knits Waterfront Worsted in Cocoa and Blacklight
Mods: I had to add the contract bit to be able to close up the hat.

The hat did come out to a comfortable size after adding that extra bit of yarn. The full hat is 257 yards so a full skein plus a fifth of that remainder. I am kind of liking the sneaky pop of color hidden inside my hats! It is also doing great to use up my little bits of scraps.
Happy Knitting!!
This is a great idea for using up scraps, you’re so smart!
I really love the look of this hat and all the happy stockinette! I love the purple bit as well.
