I'm on a roll with the LK150 now! The group I'm donating to has a February deadline for adult hats, so I'm getting these done. They can also be wool which is awesome. The baby items can't be wool though, and they do collect those all year.
This adult hat was made with Georga Wool "Mercerized" that I'm pretty sure I bought at Wal-Mart a long time ago. It used 122gr, a little more than one ball. Annoying. Now I know not to do a doubled brim on other hats using this yarn.
I did do the doubling up decreases several times until I was down to around 12 stitches.
Now this little hat. Ugh.
I didn't think I'd have enough of the pink to do the whole hat, but I have some left over. The pink is a chenille that was not liking the needles I was using. It has no stretch or recovery. But it is soft and used only 20gr.
Yarn In: 0gr
Yarn Out: 122gr + 20gr + 363gr = 485gr
Balance: 485gr more OUT than in
Costs: $0
Nice! Not even half way into January and I've used a pound of yarn!
