Intuitive hat

I started this hat back in July, as my knitting for the air plane.  It didn't work out that way however, as the bamboo circulars I was using broke rather early on.  I have NO luck with bamboo and I won't buy it again.  So ended up playing endless rounds of bejewelled on my cell phone and wishing I didn't get motion sick so I could read.  Anyway, I bought some aluminium circulars for the way home, not even knowing if they would make it through security.  They did!  So I worked on the ribbing until it was 2" and then slept the rest of the way home (yay night flight!).




I found this pattern on Ravelry, and it really lives up to the name of Intuitive.  The repeat is so easy it is excellent TV knitting, so I ended up finishing it rather quickly after the house move was complete. 

I used a different type of yarn that the pattern called for, so it didn't end up as slouchy as I was hoping, because I ran out and didn't have any more in that colour.  The wool is Wendy Mode, 50% wool, 50% acrylic and it is soft and warm and lovely.  I love that it is thick and warm. I love that it is reversible. I love the colour.  I love the hat.  Just not on me.  I appear to be incredable picky about what I want on my head, so it's a good thing I like making hats! 








Here is the reverse side




Here is where I hop, thank you for stopping by.

    I hate bamboo needles also but I have to use them for airplane flights too. Didn't know that you could use take aluminiums through security -mmmm may try next time. I like the hat, thinking of starting some for myself in time for winter.

    Beautiful hat. It looks so soft. I wish I could even wear any knit hat. I look horrendous in hats! Oh well, my love of knitting them just means I have to find other recipients.

    The hat is adorable. Yes, I know what you mean about enjoying the knit but finding it's just not you. Well, you have a beautiful gift ready for someone special.

    I think it looks great without the slouch. But I am the same way and don't keep most of the hats I knit.

    It's a cute hat, but I look ridiculous in pretty much all hats. I think it's a hair thing - I have short hair and hats make me look bald.

    I'm not a fan of bamboo needles either; only when the yarn is slippery do I use them.

    I love it! I think slouchy is being overdone anyway. ;)

    I like the hat and I have the same problem as you - I love making hats but I'm super picky about hats for me.

    Great hat! Thanks for the linky. The pattern is printing right now. I'm always looking for patterns that would be good to show off my handspun yarn and this will certainly be one. Have a great weekend!
