Finished Object Friday | Tiny Hats

Finished a project and it’s Friday so let’s talk. Yesterday I was minding my every one else’s business on Instagram😜 translation I was scrolling. I came across these adorable little hats by Kelbournewoolens and fell in love 🧡

I was almost discouraged because US1 needle. Can we just sit with that needle size for a minute ⏲ ok so I couldn’t find my set. Are you shocked that I even had them? Hahahahaaa me too!

I was so intrigued and decided to give it a try. I was already trying to decide what to post here and this was perfect. Because they are so tiny I would be finished in no time right? Well, can we talk about how I knew I absolutely did not own US1 DPNs, nope! But I had US2, why though?

The struggle

I found my DPNs (does the D stand for Devil?) and got started. When I tell you I was all, oh well these won’t get finished because these devil pointed needles were giving me a run for my money.

I love my fiberfriends because Paige suggested I do magic loop 😜 and I did have that sock set my daughter purchased for me a long time ago.

I couldn’t find my US1 needle OR find the bag with my left over orange fingering yarn. Lol are you questioning how these darling hats were born? Lol are you like “GG, who’s picture is that because you ain’t finish nothing!” All valid thoughts hahahahahahaaa.

Ok I found US2 with 32 inch cord so magic loop is happening, however, the pattern said US1. 👀 Insert Paige to help me determine modifications. Following the pattern with the wrong size needle equals a bigger than I wanted hat.

I frogged it and went with less stitches. I was so excited that I didn’t do enough rows of ribbing. Lol here is a tip: don’t knit while sleepy! Hahahahahahaa! It’s cute though. Look it’s the prefect mini tree topper…

I reduced the CO again and yay cuteness! Did I say it was a free pattern? Did I say it also includes little mittens and ornaments and stuff

P.S. don’t forget to check out my Vlogmas

P.P.S 👈🏾 What does that mean? Hahahaha the final CO I used was 24

knit on my fiber friends….knit on

GG
