It came out a tiny bit too big (my sister's hat - not worried if her cat's hat fits). I think the needle size was fine, I just probably should have casted on 40 - 44 stitches instead of 50 as the pattern states. I was just happy to finish a knitting project without making mistakes and having to frog and re-do part of it - I made it all the way through. It was a pretty easy pattern though.
I think my sister looks pretty cute in her pink hat.
Hopefully, I can get over to her house soon and we can attempt to take a quick photo of her kitty wearing his kitty kap. If you see me walking around with scratches on my arm, you will probably figure out that I tried at least.
I thought I would be done with hats but....my sister-in-law has mentioned a few times that she would like a slouchy hat. I don't care for slouchy hats, for myself, but I ran across some pretty yarn at Hobby Lobby this past weekend and it had a Charming Slouchy Hat pattern on the ball band and it said it only required 1 skein so I thought...why not? I just started it this morning (before work) so don't really have photos to post yet. So I will just post a stock photo of the yarn...Red Heart Unforgettable Waves, in the colorway "Lakehouse". Pretty, huh?
So nice stopping by to say Hi and peruse your lovely blog! I have enjoyed seeing your crochet projects! Nice to meet you!

You did a great job. Lovely color, too.
ReplyDeleteYes, I have 5 cats and I can't imagine anything staying on their head more than a second!
