Notes

For my third Rikke hat, I wanted a super fitted and less slouchy hat. I therefore used smaller needles and started decreases after just 7 inches (I have a small head). I thought it would make sense to show all 3 Rikke Hats together to illustrate just how personalised one can make them by using different yarn blends, sizing etc. I still prefer Tosh Merino DK for this hat though:).

Magic looped the top of this one - fab video here.
And German Twisted cast-on still rocks - and I still haven’t found a better video than this one for learning.

Thanks to yarn whisperer Sarah for knowing this yarn had my name on it:). If you are the kind of person who likes Malabrigo’s ‘Applewood’ you’ll fall in love with ‘Warm Mushroom’ and Tosh Merino DK is so amazing to knit with.
