Anemone Hat! Knitting FO

 

Wow, what fun!

This is a great knitting pattern by Cat Bordhi. Lotsa new techniques, love that links to video demos are included. The pattern includes a lot of options – the brim can be knitted up in Moebius fashion or straight, you can use worsted or bulky yarns, in adult and children’s sizes.

I knitted the Moebius brim version in an Adult Large, using a 38” cable. After I finished the brim, I used the Magic Loop technique all the way up.

I really, truly, can’t wait to cast on another! I want to knit one up in Lorna’s Laces … and one in bulky …
