While working Black Friday, I lost my prized grey knit beanie, this being the calamity of all calamities, there was only one solution. Use the adorable white fuzzy yarn that I had been looking to use since I bought it at Vulcan's Rest in June. I found this pattern for an adorable hat.
The Waffle Hat, is so cute and even though the end product appears to be complex the pattern is incredibly easy to learn. It's basically a rib stitch with yarn wrapped around a set number of stitches in a checkerboard pattern. So incredibly misleading if you ask me. The ribbing give the hat a nice shape, and it can work up with just one skein of Classic Chunky from Universal Yarns.
I used a boxy decrease so that it would fit my head, but the pattern's decrease technique is a nice spiral. I also ended up decreasing the number of stitches worked for the hat, because I have a pretty small head. Basically I just took out one of the waffle patterns and ensured that the pattern would still be able to be worked seamlessly.
This little hat worked up in a matter of hours, or would have if I hadn't been so distracted and doing homework all vacation. So warm, and it seems like it will last me a while.
