Finished: Firepit Hat

The Firepit Hat is DONE!

Pattern: My own basic vanilla folded brim beanie. I didn’t even count stitches on this one

Yarn: Isager Yarn Ararn Tweed in Black

Needles: US 10 and 8s for decreases

Turns out my fears about using smaller needles on the brim were unfounded. I really don’t think you can tell a discernable difference. This yarn is SUPER rustic and will definitely end up in the gift pile. I do not think this is a yarn I would buy again or work with by choice. It’s just too rustic for what I am used to.

I used up most of the skein as this hat turned out to be Large. Not surprising based on the fact I didn’t count my cast on or worry/calculate gauge. I let the yarn chicken gods figure it out and I won. This hat is 89 grams or 140 yards of yarn in the finished object.

Happy Knitting!!

This Is Going To Be Rustic

This Bonfire Hat is going to be RUSTIC. This yarn has tooth to it, especially knit up.

I managed to get the brim knit and folded up. It was not the easiest to do with this incredibly blunt needles and this thick yarn, but I managed. I can now cruise on the hat body and see what I can get done.

I have some travel coming up and I think I will take my Round Yoke Pullover and several hat options to work on.

Happy Knitting!!

Cast On: Firepit Hat

Friends invited us for a driveway hang with their new fire pit. And I didn’t have anything on hand that I wouldn’t mind to knit and have it smell like fire.

I grabbed my skein of Isager Yarn Aran Tweed I picked up on Looped DC this past summer. Mostly because it was already caked up. And I cast on a whole whack of stiches, I didn’t even count. Just went on vibes.

And after one good hang out and a couple of beers, I managed to get this much hat done. Just using my basic recipe of a vanilla beanie with a folded brim. No ribbing, just miles of stockinette. Love me some basic auto pilot knitting…

Happy Knitting!!!
