f.o. | striped hat.

Back in 2013, I bought several skeins of Quince and Co. lark for their Striped Hat pattern. For some reason, they went in one of my stash bins to languish for four years.I have no idea why this project got away from me for so long. Usually, in these cases, I rediscover the yarn years later, cannot for the life of me remember what I purchased it for, and repurpose the skeins into something else.This pattern must have really stuck out in my mind because I rediscovered the yarn the other night and immediately dug out the pattern I had already purchased. This hat knits up so fast and the fit is like a dream. I love the rolled, turned in brim and its interesting construction.My only modification was to do one less of the final row 1 -7 repeats. I thought the hat would be too tall if I didn't make the slight adjustment. The height is perfect with the modification and it's the only one I've been wearing since I completed it last weekend.The pattern uses four skeins of Quince and Co. lark; I used the same color ways as the pattern called for: honey, frank's plum, and gingerbread. I had mere yards of the main color (honey) left over because I didn't complete all the pattern repeats, which means I have enough leftover to make another hat.Read my project notes here. Expect to see a whole bunch more of these hats in my winter making this year; the color combinations are endless.
