Finished: Dragonfly Hat

The Dragonfly Hat is complete!

Pattern: My own basic beanie recipe with 88 stitches and vanilla turned brim

Yarn: Abstract Fiber Dakota in Dragonfly

Needles: US 8s

This hat turned out pretty decent and I think the flashing/pooling ended up being very aesthetically pleasing. I used 58 grams of yarn or roughly 150 yards of yarn. This hat did end up more in the Adult Medium size versus some of my past ones were Adult Larges.

I think I would work with this yarn base again. I don’t normally use a ton of variegated yarn for hats but this was a nice departure from solid or tonal yarn. I am not sure if this will stay in the house or go in the gift pile but it will be nice regardless!

Happy Knitting!!

Ready For Dragonfly Decreases

I love how quickly a basic beanie moves after turning the brim. Basically you knit twice as far to just get halfway when you make a folded brim.

The Dragonfly Hat is ready for decreases now. I was pleased to see that the micro stripe didn’t change much when I got into body knitting. And the fold worked perfectly. I do need to remember where my DPNs went so I can close out this hat, lol. The time change has my brain chemistry a little lagging lately.

Happy Knitting!!
