Well, we made it to Utah! My creative project this week happened on the 23 hour drive it took to get here. About three months ago, my husband requested a knitted spring/summer hat. I never got around to filling his order. When I heard that temps here in Park City were 20-30 degrees cooler than our hot Texas temps, I thought, “He could use that hat!” He told me he was thinking ahead and that’s why he asked for one. Hmmm…
Anyway, I made a very simple hat that I’m calling His Mountain Air Hat. I didn’t figure gauge but if you’re interested in the pattern, here goes.
Supplies ~ Worsted weight yarn, size 8 circular needles and dpn’s
