Sophia's Hat

I had leftover yarn from making Cat's hat so I made one for Sophia.  I used this pattern, Lemon Curd Slouch, by Ali Tong.  The hat does not slouch though because I used bulky yarn instead of the heavy worsted yarn the pattern calls for.  But that was okay because Sophia really liked it!!  It will really keep her warm if it gets cold this winter.

Cat's Hat

Cat wanted me to make a hat for her and I finally finished it!!  TADA!!  I hope she likes it.

This is Sophia in the photos!  Isn't she cute?!

I used Brown Sheep Lamb's Pride Bulky yarn and this pattern, Thorpe by Kristin Kapur.
The pattern started at the top which was a bit difficult for me because I don't use DPNs that often and the yarn kept sliding off of the needles. But after I got going it was fine....
