knit – Chunky Slouch Cap

midnight knitter — Thu, 15 Jan 2009 08:56:57 +0000

It has been BITTER cold up here in New England. Tomorrow many schools are closed, no snow, just too cold…

Since I’ve been staying in, I finally finished writing up a new pattern!

Here is the hat in Loop-d-Loop Tundra

I’ve actually been wearing this hat for almost two months now.. get a lot of compliments when I’m out and about.

enjoy

A chunky hat to knit in one short evening!

Meant to be worn beret style, sitting loose at the top of your head. Tundra is a great new yarn from Loop-d-Loop, very similar to favorite Rowan Big Wool.

—UPDATE—
Tundra is unique, it stretches easily. If you substitute yarn, make sure to add a few more rounds to the cap.

yarn: 1 ball Loop-d-Loop Tundra

needles: US 11
