Pattern: Zeebee hat
Yarn: Jo sharp silkroad tweed dk 1 ball (2 balls for the set)
Gauge: 20sts 40 rows/4 inches using US#6 needles (the great thing about this pattern is you can use any yarn and any gauge...it generates the pattern for you!)
adjustments: None. the next hat I will make longer. Because I decided to go with a 2" negative ease...I didn't take into account that it would shrink up in length as it stretched to fit.
It JUST fits. I would prefer another inch I think.
What a great pattern. It is great for handspuns or varigated yarns as well.
I seem to be rekindling my love for tweed lately.
Fingerless mitts info found here.
Here is a view from the top.
And speaking of tweed...we were speaking of it, right?
I gave in to the yarn diet...it was 1/2 off...how could one resist?
(please ignore the box of tissue...the sun was putting a glare on the camera window...and hey, I have a cold.)
Hardly too anything -- just a bit put together and very nice. They also look easy enough to copy for gifts, etc. A great success, seems to me.
ReplyDeleteI love it! They look great together.
ReplyDeleteLovely. I really like them together and I'm not usually one for matching sets. They really light up your eyes!
ReplyDeleteLovin' the look.
ReplyDeleteWhat a super holiday gift set they would make.
only too matchy matchy if you strike that pose while you're waiting in the checkout line. otherwise, super cute! that's a nice soft blue
ReplyDeleteYou know what? I´m really glad you´re back :-)
ReplyDeleteI don't think it's too matchy. I think it's very nice and I like the color a lot.
ReplyDeleteI think they look great! Love that pattern, simple and classic!
ReplyDeleteI love it and they're not too match matchy at all.
ReplyDeleteA couple of questions. What size needles? How many balls did you need for the hat?
I love the Silk Road. I'm currently using it to make the Central Park Hoodie.
No, perfect! Love it!
ReplyDeleteWhat pattern for the mitts?
