I started out trying to make a hat for my toddler, figuring it would work up pretty quickly. I used this as a chance to do some stash busting. Combing through my yarn remnants I found some Rowan 4-ply Soft and I decided to try using it doubled. I tried to calculate my gauge, but with limited knitting time I just got started.
A great marled knit emerged from the dark blue and dusty purple-gray colors. I continued, mixing pale leaf green with icy blue. I realized as I got halfway that the hat was too large, then that I didn't have enough of those colors to complete the entire crown. I decided to add in generous amounts of white that I had, which I added as a stripe and then the crown.
I thought I might make it for myself, but my almost 5-year-old, with his big head, asked if it coukd be for him, so I finished the crown for a child's head. I completed the gay this week and already it has been worn to school and out and about -- yeah!
