Slow Sunday Stitching - October 13, 2024 AND a finished knitting project: LOSY Hat in a Hurry

I'm still on the knitting, book and gardening kick.   Finished the LOSY hat for charity earlier this week.   I think it turned out pretty good.   I'm glad I went with the bigger stripes; the narrow ones were just a muddled mess when paired with the marled yarn that was the second strand.   Also, I'm glad I fudged the marl to marry up the lightest section of that yarn with the white stripe.   What's a couple more Russian Joins in a hat with this many? LOL😉.

So once that first hat was finished, I cast on the Musselburgh Hat by Ysolda Teague (link to Rav page for the pattern).  This hat is a double layer plus a folded brim, so very toasty over the ears.    Starts with a center out cast on like the center of shawl with four quadrants, then once the crown is done, it's worked in a tube for double the hat length, the ends are all woven in other than the final one, then the second crown is decreased, the final end woven in, and the double ended tube collapsed to form the hat.  Very clever.

Here's my odd little center start, and the first crown increases.   This yarn is not photographing very true in color.  In real life, it's less yellow and more green.

Now that the first crown increases are done, it's straightforward.   Round and round like the leg of a vanilla sock, which makes it perfect reading or watching TV knitting. 

Off to see what the other SSC folks are up to.  (Link to this week's round up.)
