Finn's Hat


About 4 months ago, a good friend of mine had a baby (well, technically, his wife had it), and I'd been wanting to make a hat for the kiddo ever since. I'm actually happy I waited to make it; apparently said kiddo is growing at an exponential rate. Had I made the hat earlier, it would've likely been too small. Instead, I made it to size. I hope they enjoy it and get some good use out of it - it's definitely cold enough!

The pattern is my own. CO 58 sts. Join in the round, start with a purl round. Knit garter st for 20 rounds (10 ridges). Knit st st for 10 rounds. Decrease 8 sts evenly. K2, k2tog around. K1, k2tog around. K2tog around for 2 rounds. 6 sts remaining. Cut yarn, pull through remaining sts.

I used about 75g of Misty Alpaca Hand Painted Chunky in Winter Queen. (100% Baby Alpaca - so soft!) Needle size: US10 1/2 (6.5mm)
