Droplet Hat

I finished up the Droplet Hat...



The pattern seems to work out fine...and it only took a couple of days to knit.
Yarn: Jo Sharp Silkroad Tweed.
Pattern: Droplet Hat from Knitting Nature.
Adjustments: I added a little length...my row gauge must have been off. So I didn't end up making the last set of bobbles. I think the three bobbles up the side of the droplet looks just fine. I also forgot to do the ribbing twisted at the rim of the hat...oh well.

The way Norah does the bobbles is a great technique to learn. It's like cabling without a cable needle...less work for bobbles...you got to love it.

Love the hat. I made a hat this winter out of the JS Silkroad tweed..fabulous! I will have to get that book to find out about the bobbles. You said it was in Knitting Nature, right?

Nice hat -- love the bobbles around the bottom edge especially. I just got that book and don't remember seeing that hat. I'll have look through it again.
