I'm in between Nerd Wars Tournaments this month and I didn't want to start any major projects so I went through my collection of patterns and decided I needed to knit a hat that a man could wear. I thought Grumpy might like it but he said he didn't want to "mess up his hair" so he is holding out for a woven scarf. Alas, this hat will either be gifted or sold.
The pattern is called
Just for Him written by KellyJ for Kalamazoo Knits. I am using my handspun yarn from my
Pedro in Lime Roving and Ella Rae Kalemsoft yarn to created the stripes. I am not one for purling so the K1P1 ribbing is a good way for me to practice consistency before I start my next project that will require a lot of purling on tiny needles.

Love your hat. My OH wears his hat to cover his hair, when he had bed hair and does not want to wash it, this only works in winter though!
ReplyDeleteLove the hat - very manly :-)
ReplyDeleteLooks good...love the colors!
ReplyDeleteGreat hat.. I thought only us gals worried about messing up our hair! :-D
ReplyDeleteLovely hat, shame the intended recipient is not a hat wearer! My boyfriend has a hat that I made him (in malabrigo no less) that he doesn't wear often, for much the same reason!
ReplyDeleteI love that shade of green. Looks great so far!
ReplyDeleteI love the hat, and the yarn is just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI'e been making a list of masculine hat patterns to refer to. Love that one! Thanks for the link.
ReplyDeleteIt looks good, super colours. Looking forward to the tiny needles project, is it socks?
ReplyDeleteLove the colors! It will be good practice.
ReplyDeleteNice hat Andrea. It looks so soft and definitely masculine colors. You'll have to work on Grumpy and his non-messy hair. A man needs a nice warm hat this time of year for sure.
