Another hat finished … this one I didn’t really follow the pattern … just a 2×2 rib cuff, stockinette body, and then the decreases. I’m still in search of the perfect beanie pattern and started another one tonight.
- needle size = 7
- yarn is Caron one pound – it’s an Aran weight yarn and while it’s not the softest, the hat feels fine on my head.

I said I wasn’t going to start another afghan this year but I’m itching to start one! If I finish another 2-3 hats and get my binding done I might start one that last week of the year!
Too cute Mary! How many stitches did you cast on? That looks like a good boy/man style.
Boy, you are on a roll. Cute hat! I wish I could knit as fast as you, I would love to make hats for family. Maybe I will practice next year and next winter I might be able to make at least one. I like knitted hats better than crochet but like to crochet more than knit.
So busy, so many nice things that you share so well.
There is something so comforting about an afghan. I picked up knitting again about 2 months ago. By my chair I have one sitting so when in the mood I can do a few rows. My plan had been to knit up the last 2 boxes of yarn I had sitting here. Now that I’ll be down to 3 skeins, I’m thinking I may buy again. Such a conundrum 😉
Happy knitting!
Hi Mary…try the Bankhead hat…it is on Revelry…it is my go to get when knitting for charity.
