Materials needed for the Web hat. |
This pattern challenged me as a beginner knitter. I had to switch needles twice, count stitches in a row and also use double point needles (DPN) for the first time. I also learned that as you go on to the next row while knitting in a round you are doing what is called laddering. I was told I did a good job at it for a first timer. Yay!!
I love how it turned out, along with the great wool I used. It is soft and fits nice but not too snug. It can be worn down on my forehead or back a bit to be a small slouch hat. I absolutely love the dark brown with the flecks of color and didn't find it hard to knit.
Take a look at the photos below for my progress.
Just starting out. I am finished the ribbing. |
Half way done, switched over to the 6 1/2 mm circulars. |
Almost finished! Last 6 rows, just switched to the DPNs. |
Finished! My daughter modeling the end product. |
Out for a walk, staying warm. |

ReplyDeleteThanks Freda! I know isn't it crazy how much she looks like me? I pulled out pictures when I was young and we looked super similar.. I could have been her twin
DeleteThis is an awesome hat, I'm going to give it a try! I've pinned it!
ReplyDeleteaww thanks Monica for pinning it! I would love to see your hat when you are done :)
DeleteLove it! You are inspiring me to pick up my crochet hook and whip up another pair of slippers, because mine are wearing out. :-) (I don't know how to knit, yet)
ReplyDeleteThanks Sue! I am glad I can inspire you to make some new slippers! I would love to learn to crochet(I tried when I was young then gave up). Knitting isn't too hard, you can do it!
