FlowerIsle Hat



Pattern: My Own
Source: Christina Moran Designs
Needles: US 5,7,9 16" circulars, US 7 dpns
Yarn: Cascade Yarn Baby Alpaca Chunky
one skein of each color



This yarn is some of the softest alpaca yarn I have ever used. There is absolutely no itching at all on the forehead and it feels very luxurious and warm. I used a kitchener cast on for the brim and it gave a nice finish to the edge. It can take a few minutes to learn but is worth the effort and can be used for many other applications as well once it is in your toolbox. Removing one of the flower repeats from the pattern will make the hat a nice size for a small child.
