52 Things – Knit a Hat

For my third 52 Things, I decided to do:

46. Knit a hat or a sock or mittens.

I used this simple YouTube movie to figure out how to make a hat.

I already knew how to decrease and there’s nothing else new here except for knitting in the round which I happened to have the needles for but I had never done before. I used some yarn I had and since the yarn was bulky, I used 64 stitches.

Here’s the hat:

The hat took me about a week on and off. I really didn’t spend much regular time on it. It was quite easy to be honest. The hardest part of the very ending cause I was down to like six stitches and it was getting really hard to keep knitting. And I don’t have a crochet hook so I had to improvise for the very ending.

Here’s me wearing it.

I think it ended up being a tiny bit too short for my liking. I would have liked it an inch longer. But the great thing is both David and I can wear it (I have a small head.) and it’s soft and warm.

I’m not a hat person but I might actually wear this around. I like it.

Even though it was one item, I think I might still like to learn how to knit socks, too. Looks pretty hard!

    I love it! I love it so much, I have the same one in purple! I hate hats because they usually give me a headache but this one doesn’t. It’s really cool. Congrats!
