Turn A Square
I taught a hat class a few weeks ago on jogless stripes. I used Brooklyn Tweed’s wonderful Turn A Square pattern that is available free on Ravelry. Thanks Jared! I loved the class sample so much that I had to make one for myself. Jared’s patterns are always extremely detailed and error free, and he just comes up with the best designs! This hat is great because it’s a quick knit, but fits really well and is universally appealing.
I used two very soft yarns - Cascade Cash Vero DK and Crystal Palace Mochi Plus (details on Ravelry). This hat is destined to be a Christmas gift - I’m thinking for my brother (who is really hard to buy for). Any time I can use a class or a quick project for a gift down the road, I’m a happy camper.
(Although I don’t look at all happy in this picture - let’s blame the snow…)
Next up, a vest for Vestvember, new slippers for me, and a couple more Christmas gifts. Oh, and let’s not forget the push to get the tree skirt finished in time for Christmas. Stay tuned.

Great hat! I’d look like that if it were snowing here, I think! Tell me more about Vestvember….

That’s a great looking hat. And I understand your face. I’d make that face, too, if there was that much snow on the ground!

Thats a lovely hat. The snow looks good to me as we don’t get it very often.
