Finished: Frankenstein Hat #2

Frankenstein Hat #2 is done and dusted (okay, well washed)

Pattern: Musselburgh (kind of) by Ysolda Teague

Yarn: Scraps all listed here (Rav link)

Needles: US 8s

I really like how I chose to use the browns in the middle. It makes the hat look consistent but VERY different depending on which side you face out. The orange comes across very hunting themed/blaze orange. And the green side reads more fall vibes, to me.

This used up 218 yards of yarn and every bit of scraps for each of these colors. I had a teeny bit of green left at cast off but I just tucked that on the inside as I closed up the hat. Extra insulation! I get so much satisfaction from using up scraps and closing out those stash entries on Ravelry!

Happy Knitting!!

The Last Color (Hopefully)

Turns out I needed those leftovers from Medusa to make this hat complete.

I am trying to work smart on this one. I counted the number of rows from the end of the increases to the start of the burgundy. I will then work that same number of rows on the opposite end before starting the decreases. Hopefully this means I will have a hat that folds where I want it to.

Double thick worsted weight is going to make one warm hat. I just hope that I have enough yarn to finish…..
