Notes

05.05.2023

Following the spirit of the pattern with quite some adjustments in gauge, logo design (having just the right aspect ratio when worn) and decrease technique.
Casted on 2x64 stitches. Turned out a little too tight, might redo it with 72 stitches as I’ve quite some yarn left (150g out of 200g).
The yarn is fabulous, very soft, very light and pretty elastic despite the high cotton content.

Made a second hat, now with 72 stitches which fits much better. Still didn’t use all of the first pair of skeins. Had really poor judgement how little yarn these would consume, i.e. less than 100m/25g per color! Could knit two more with the yarn I bought slightly_smiling_face
