Urban's Slouchy Beret
Pattern: Gwen's Slouchy Beret by Lauren
Needles: 7 & 9 16 inch Circulars
Yarn: Paton's Classic Merino
Color: Paprika
Do you see the 70's vibe w/the shades and hoops? I am channeling my inner Rasta.
I LOVE my new hat!!! Just LOVE it!! I know I will be rocking it all fall, winter and spring. I did not use the lightweight yarn called for because I wanted something heavy that will keep me warm when the crazy weather hits soon.
This is my first true hat (Cecile was seamed). All of it was knit on circular needles which was great because I did not have to seam anything. So, what did I learn? Um, to use my circulars the correct way. I think this is the third project I have used from start to finish with my circulars. The only thing I would do differently, would be to use DPN's at the end when there was less stitches. Oh, and to use yarn in different weights so you can really see the beautiful design.
I used YARN AND NEEDLES FROM MY STASH!!! Before I bought my Knitpicks set, I bought all these needles STILL in there case to be used for hats, but never used them. Well, I finally did.
I am so happy with myself. I wanted to be ready this year for the fall and winter. I was so mad at myself last year when the kids and I did not have cold weather supplies (had to buy them) and I am SUPPOSE to be a knitter. I always felt a season behind. Well, what a difference a year makes!!

Doesn't it feel good to be ready for the season?!? :oD
Me likey! I can't wait for Fall.
Love it! You remind me that perhaps I should crank out some winter knits for my kiddos.
Ooooh, I love it! Wait, how did you do the Hemlock Ring Lapghan without circulars? I'm binding mine off now and can not picture how you could have used DPNs.
That looks great! Your inner Rasta complements your outer style for sure.
Using stuff you already have!?!?! UNHEARD OF!!!
Love the hat the design is really pretty. You are definitely working those circulars.
Love it, love it's slouchiness.
