I used my hand-spun yarn for this hat.
The stripes came out naturally, because it is a stripie yarn.
Like hand of the fabric in this yarn much more than the previous, in acrylic.
Had to recalculate stitches, because of the different gauge.
Casted on - 10 sts less than in the pattern.
Knitted 5.25 before decreases.
Decreases for the crown also altered.
(first 6 rows - 8 decreases every other row; then 6 decreases in each row)
Didn’t steam.
