I got a bunch of new wool as a Christmas present. This is the first work I have submitted since.

I haven't been making hats before I moved to Slovenia and I was asked to make one. So this is my third hat I have ever made. As you can guess, everything didn't go as planned. It is too short. Luckily that problem is easy to solve.

The yarn is very thin. Luckily I remembered to make a sample piece and got the right amount of beginning loops straight away. I had 180 loops. I also wanted to try a new perspective of making a hat. I didn't start knitting it like I would usually do by making a big round tunnel, let's say, but I knit a big rectangle and at the end I sewed the edges together and finished the hat as I would had made it in a tunnel style.

I'm not sure if I will use the hat by myself or will someone else get it. It's not what I thought it would be, so I don't like how it ended up to look. I wish the yarn would have been one-coloured stripe yarn, but now there were almost always two colours put together to be one yarn. When I got this yarn I was very enthusiast of what all kind of things I could possibly make out of it, since the colour of the yarn ball was such a pretty one. But as I proceed my hat I was disappointed how the colours were mixed.

Anyway, soon you will see my latest hat project for my boyfriend.
