I finished it last week but needed to send my notes back to Libby for the test knit. And she is onto a winner, this pattern is going to be a success. It looks great, easy to wear and is a super fit. Unfortunately you will have to wait for her to publish the pattern before you can make yourself one!
I cannot tell you a lot about it, as the pattern is not yet released - but trust me is not as difficult as it looks, really - which is great. It makes it a very quick knit.
I knitted it in Malabrigo worsted (pearl) - The colourway is great, as it goes with everything.
Looks at the back of it, I can't get over it. It looks amazing
In my feedback I asked Libby to consider making mittens for the pattern, that would make a very complete pattern, and guess what I have a bit of that malabrigo left over, so it would be perfect! I will of course let you know when the pattern is available and there may even be a giveaway...
Oh Nat, it's gorgeous! And so are you x
ReplyDeleteVery cute! It is FINALLY warming up here in Massachusetts and all I can think about is fluffy knitted hats. When this pattern gets released it will go right in the queue!
ReplyDeleteIt looks amazing! And your choice of yarn is perfect! I would love to make one for myself when the pattern is released. So, how does one become a test knitter?

ReplyDeleteSuper cute! It looks really tricky, so if you say it is easy it must be a great pattern. I love the soft grey colour of the yarn you have used too - very flattering!
ReplyDeleteLovely hat! The smocking type pattern seems like it would fit beautifully!
ReplyDeleteIt looks very cozy! And almost like a beehive. Which is very much on my mind during Blog Week! I am definitely in the House of Bee.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous hat, I love the design. X
ReplyDeleteI love Malabrigo Worsted. It's so soft and just beckons a crafter. The hat from its back view looks like an intricate flower.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I am starting to wonder if people will think you always have a mug near your face ;)
