Notes

Bought the yarn at the Loch Ness Knit Fest and it immediately said “MAKE ME A HAT!” so I did. :-)

The pattern calls for worsted, but this TOFT DK is incredibly soft and perfect for hats, so I chose the largest size and went down to a 4mm needle size for the hat body. The ribbing in on 3.75mm needles. Total hat length is 8.5 inches. I made a marled pom pom for it of two gray yarns.

Knit while cruising back home on a transatlantic liner, Celebrity REFLECTION. The progress photo was taken in port, Cartagena, Spain.
