Finished: Flats Hat

Posted on by

The Flats Hat is complete and ready for my 2025 gift bag.

Pattern: My own 88 stitch beanie “recipe”

Needles: US 8s

Yarn: Thelittlewolfknits Opti base in the Pigskin Party KAL exclusive colorway “Flats or Drums”

I forced myself to extend this to maximize yarn usage. I used 82 grams or 179 yards of yarn total. I got 40 bonus KAL points for using sponsor yarn. I really like how the dark brown spiraled in this hat at my gauge.

I would definitely buy more yarn from this dyer again. It was nicely dyed and I didn’t have any colors bleed. And the hand of the finished fabric is very soft and nice. Orange isn’t usually my colors but I love how the browns and green bits punch this one up.

Now on to my next hat! Happy Knitting!!

Flats Hat Decreases

My Flats Hat is ready for decreases!

The family sat down and watched RedOne since we missed it in December and I cruised through the body of the hat. The move is great and seeing a jacked Santa was something else! This yarn is Littlewolfknits yarn in the Opti base called “Flats or Drums”. I picked flats because those are the superior wings IMO.

I managed to get my DPNs installed before my eyes started crossing and it was time to go to bed. I should be able to wrap this up in the next couple of days. And bonus for me, it will earn me extra points in the Pigskin Party KAL for an exclusive sponsor product.

Happy Knitting!!

Little Wolf Knits Haul

Back in November I won a prize from the 2024 Pigskin Party KAL and that was a gift card from thelittlewolfknits online yarn store.

I ordered this in early December and it arrived just in time for year end hat knitting. I grabbed a Pigskin Party KAL special color way in worsted (orange), some nuetral mohair silk to hold in my hats and then another (teal) worsted skein for PB inspired hat.

This is a new to me dyer and she was delightful during the order process. I am excited to see how her yarn feels. I need to get this orange one started soon as it will earn me bonus points in the KAL!

Happy Knitting!!
