I get a hat too

I thought I was done knitting hats, but I guess I had at least one more left in me, for me.


Pattern: Watch Cap by Judith Durant
Yarn: Cascade 220 Superwash, colorway 901 'Cotton Candy'
Needles: US7
Modifications: Increased depth by 1"


This pattern is about as simple as can be and produces a nice stretchy hat that fits just about any adult. I made this one deeper because I like to turn up the bottom while still covering my ears.


When you SSK, do you slip knitwise or purlwise? I do the former, but wonder if the latter would be better. Comments?


So maybe I am done with hats... for now. The fact that the weather forecast calls for 60 degree temps tomorrow definitely discourages knitting almost anything in wool. Baa!
