FO Friday: Another Teal Beanie

Happy Friday and happy finished hat!! My Another Teal Beanie if off the needles.

Pattern: My own 88 stitch beanie “recipe:

Yarn: Malabrigo Rios in Cian

Needles: US 8s

For this version I worked a 2×2 brim that I knit and then folded over to join with the main body of the hat. Then just stockinette for days ending in star type decreases to close it up. I used approximately 162 yards or 77 grams.

I have all the hat mojo right now. I think I have decided to channel it into gift knits for my volleyball team later this year. Work now, gift later. I already have the next two hats in mind with the yarn wound!

Happy Knitting!!

Afternoon Field Day

Today brings you the afternoon (and sweaty) progress of my Another Teal Beanie.

I managed to get the 2×2 ribbing folded over and attached to the body hat. SOOO happy to be cruising in the stockinette section. I can flick this and it just goes so fast.

Many kids stopped to look at my knitting and ask if they could do it. But it was so humid and the yarn very “sticky” that I didn’t. Also, I would have ended up with 35 kids lined up. One older kid asked “what station” is this and I said “the mom taking a break section” and he snapped back “can I try it”. I said no and giggled profusely.

Just need to keep motoring along and I might have another finished hat this week! Happy Knitting!!
