So I got bored. It’s holidays after all and a I needed a small diversion. That’s what a hat is, isn’t it? I can almost knit one in day.

This a a little bit of subtle geekery for the boy but it’s a tiny bit of a failure.

Oh, its nothing to do with the knitting or the sizing. It’s lovely even colorwork and fits nicely. (I may just be blocking it by wearing a wet beanie on my head at the moment…) I just didn’t choose two shades of grey that have enough contrast for the pattern to show up. Also I am using recycled yarn and there are some stains in the yarn on the crown which didn’t wash out… They almost look deliberate though…

Really nice pattern. Well written and easy to follow.

This is the training hat for a massive year of hats. Hat 0 of 2016

Epilogue
The failure became too much to ignore eventually. Frogged and the yarn reclaimed Saturday 30th May 2020
