FO: Copperhead Hat

After many doggo snuggles, I negotiated a truce with Duke and he let me finish my Copperhead Hat.

Pattern: My own 88 stitch beanie “recipe” with a 2×2 ribbed rolled brim

Needles: US 8s

Yarn: TreasureGoddess Warmth Worsted in Copper Cove

I did a little better working to make this hat taller as I used 81 grams of yarn total in this hat. so right at the 175 yards of yarn. And a decent sized balls to add to my leftovers. A few more hat leftovers and I can make some Frankenstein hats, lol.

So after my hat donation and all this knitting, I am four gift hats and I really need to get to 7. So three more hats it is! Happy Knitting!!

Pretty proud of my progress on my Copperhead Hat. Duke, however, is not!

I have my DPNs installed and working star like decreases. Meanwhile, Duke would like another walk or more pets. Provided no more house disaster or new work deadlines I should have another finished hat this week.

Also, the kids arts corner is really starting to annoy me. I need to deep clean some time when they are not looking…..

Happy Knitting!!

Copperhead Progress

Thanks to annual budget season and a LONG public meeting, I was able to work through the brim of my Copperhead Hat in one sitting.

I was never so glad to be past the ribbing. I do so enjoy the speed of stockinette with worsted weight yarn. For this one I am going to resist my urge to finish the hat and try to make the body as long as possible.

Bonus points, it matched my work outfit today. The muggles at work were duly impressed even though I 1,000% did not do it on purpose.

Happy Knitting!!

Starting the next hat now that my needles are empty from the second ponytail hat. I cam calling this one my Copperhead Hat because this yarn from TreasureGoddess is the deep bold copper color.

I was tempted for another stockinette brim but for this one I went back to 2×2 ribbing. I’m slower but I want some options for my gift hats. I plan to put them all in an open decorative basket and let everyone pick their color. Still holding strong my 88 stitch count as it seems to be my sweet spot given my gauge.

I am also working on another Jessica Flectcher novel. It’s fluffy murder mystery lit and its perfect. This one is set in a hospital and shocker, someone dies. I just need to find ways to multiple the hours so I can read AND knit.

Happy Knitting!!
