After the rush of Christmas knitting, I’ve been knitting again for my favorite recipient (that’s me.) I have gotten quite a bit done on Vivian and am hoping to be done with this sweater in February so I have some time to wear it before spring. I am loving how it is turning out so far and enjoying knitting it BUT…there comes a time when you just want to finish something, you know?
(And yes, I know the color of the picture is a little distorted but I hope you can still see the hat.)
Enter the Wood Hollow Hat. I saw this on Ravelry and knew it would be a perfect FO to fit in.
Stats
Pattern: Wood Hollow Hat
Source: Kirsten Kapur (get it on Ravelry)
Yarn: Berroco Blackstone Tweed
Needles: US 6
Mods: Inspired by cute versions seen on Ravelry I made a tassel for the top instead of a pom pom.
This is a relatively fast knit and I love the yarn I made it with. Just a great, classic pattern that is super warm and perfect for cold, snowy days. Okay, that is all. Back to my regularly scheduled knitting.
Great hat! I love the cables and especially the color. Nice choice with the tassel instead of the pom pom.
Oh, that´s nice!
tee hee! i am my favorite recipient too!!! your hat is great! i’m always amazed when people consider a cabled project quick – i am all thumbs when it comes to cables!
Nice hat with a very cool name. I love great names for knitting patterns.
Very nice. I only wish I could have been part of the picture taking. I miss that. And you. Hope all is well.
SUCH a great hat. and it’s even more adorbs in person.
Thats a great hat and I love the tassle.
ooh, I love it!! that brown tweed yarn you chose is especially great.
Darn it, the pics are grainy! Next time we will have a better photo shoot. The hat of course is amazing.
Love it Erin! It’s nice to have a little something that is fast to knit up during bigger projects–I totally get that!
So pretty! I really like the pictures, they feel very wintery.
yup, perfect!
I like it with the tassel! It gives it a little touch! Good luck on finishing Vivian. I love that pattern and I look forward to seeing yours! Happy knitting!
Very nice! Great yarn choice.
Really cute hat. Love the tweed color!
Um, love.
So true – it’s great to be able to enjoy a quick knit in between the larger projects. And it looks great on you!
I’ve really enjoyed looking through your blog. Your projects are all so nicely done! I noticed that you taught yourself to knit and bought a few books in the beginning. I’m also teaching myself to knit. Do you have books or resources you would recommend for a beginner?
Thanks!
super cute hat!!! i am in the super “need” to finish something!! Jan has sucked the knit life out of me but I will get back on that horse! haha
