Two More Charity Hats on the LK150!

 I headed back down to my LK150 and "whipped up" two more adult hats from patterns by Anna Haferman.

I was chugging along and then checked the pattern and realized I had done two sections too many. I also got fancy on the decreases, but shouldn't have bothered. 

I also added 8 stitches, but I kept the tension at what she uses in the video.  This hat weighed 122gr. I wonder if I could have done it with 100gr if I actually followed the pattern. I've just found the other hats to all be a bit small and I wanted a manly hat.

Another of the Snowball beanies, but in higher contrast yarns. Again, I added 8 stitches. This is the same plum yarn as the previous "crochet look" hat. 


And again, I did the decreases a bit different. I actually really like the inside of this hat too. It would be good done in two similar colours for a nice subtle effect. This hat weighed 106gr.  Total, 228gr. 

I started another one but ran out of yarn so I'll have to re-work it. Also working on a child ribbed hat.

Yarn In:  0gr
Yarn Out: 228gr + 485gr = 713gr
Balance:  713gr more OUT than in
Costs:  $0
