Here’s another hat I finished a while ago. I know I posted it before, but I must have removed the post, so here it is again.
Oak Knot, by Juju Vail and Susan Cropper, originally published in Juju’s Loops, one of my very favorite knitting books.
I love this hat. I made it from Cascade 220. The shade is called Galaxy. I want to make at least one more in a softer yarn, but even this slightly itchy version is the hat I wear most often.
I finished knitting these mitts just before the end of the year. They’re the Spring Bloom Mitts designed by Rachel Atkinson for Loop London. It’s a free pattern, if you want to try: link
They didn’t take long to make. Mitts are are always good for quick gratification.
The yarn is Malabrigo Rios in Azul Profundo. I had it left over from another project. These took less than a skein. Rios is one of those nice, soft wools that feels almost cottony. It reminds me of Madelinetosh Tosh DK. I’d say the weight is between Tosh DK and Vintage.
