FO – hat

I finished knitting a hat from the Sweetgrass Wool extra-bulky yarn I had got at the Denmark Sheepfest in April. I did get enough to turn up a cuff to cover my ears, but there was enough yarn left over that I could have done two or three more rounds. That’s reasonably close to coming out even from about 150 yards of yarn on 1/4 inch (about 10.5) needles, 80 stitches to a round. This yarn was very easy to work with. The plies of the yarn stayed tight together, so much so that it almost seemed like a round piece of felt. The colors are considerably more intense than the picture shows.
