Head Hugger Hat
I made the cutest hat last night. Pictures? Well, unless you want to see the ball of yarn that I used, that’s about all I have to show for my efforts. There’s a picture here, which is where I found the pattern. It’s the fluffy one pictured on the left hand side of the page. I made it with a golden brown colored Fun Fur. Had the whole thing finished in just an hour or two - maybe longer, I don’t know, but it went fast. Then, as I’m getting down to the last of the decreases, one of my needles fell out. So, I quickly picked it up and found my stitches, and proceeded to finish closing the top. Turned it inside out to weave in my yarn and noticed…what’s this??? a hole? Hmmm….it was only the size of my fingertip, so I began to inspect it. Mind you, this is not as easy as one might normally think - because I’m using FUN fur, remember? OK…lemme see here. This hole, hmmm, maybe I can just fake it and weave the yarn thru it. What’s this? It grew? Two fingers now, oh CRUD. I must have dropped a stitch! Quick, find the “ladder” and you can pick up the stitch - YEAH RIGHT. In the fluffiness of brown fun fur (doubled the yarn I might add, just to make it even more of a challenge and a fluffier hat). Need I say - before I knew it I was down to ear muffs, then head band, and now a ball of yarn, innocently sitting there in my knitting basket looking for all the world like it wants to be knitted up into something … “fun.”
