I got so caught up in the fiber fest frenzy of the last couple of weeks that I forgot to show you the Flora Hat I finished before Rhinebeck.
Pattern: Flora Hat from tentenknits/Margaux Pena
Yarn: Jo Sharp Silk Road DK Tweed, about half a skein of blue and half a skein of green.
I knit this to match my knucks and it worked perfectly!
Mods: I decided to to a square top to the hat, I forget why. I ran out of the blue, so the very top is green. I didn’t like having a random green square up there, so I made little tendrils like I did on the knucks. It’s a design element! ;)
I enjoyed the pattern, and it inspired me to make some more stranded hats to practice the technique. Currently on the needles: Inga.

I really like what you did with the hat, it DOES work. Great job! And brownie points to you for having knit accessories that match. You’re in rare company there.
Cute!!
Sweet hat. Makes a great set w/ the knucks.
That looks great!
Lovely! I think you’ll enjoy Inga. I liked it so much I made 3.
very nice! i love the inga hat–it’s been on my wishlist for a long time now.
Now you’re making me want to knit another Flora! Your colours are gorgeous!
