Remember the pink handdyed yarn and the neckwarmer I knitted from it? Yes, that one.
When I finished there was about half of the yarn left over, and I was thinking and leafing through my ravelry favorites, what to do with it. A pair of mitten to accompany of the neck warmer? I really don't know, if the intended owner likes fingerless mittens or not, and it was not enough for a pair of full gloves.
Well, it would not be enough for a full hat either, but what if I add some other yarn, and make it a stranded pattern? I had my eye for a while on the Swirl hat pattern, ths was the perfect opportunity to try it.
I absolutely loved knitting this one, this is the type of pattern, which makes you knit faster, and especially when the pattern units get smaller, you get through them faster and faster.
I made the slouchy version, but I started with 122 stitch and then after increasing, I used 6 pattern repeats (instead of the 7 in the pattern)
This is definetly NOT the last time I've knitted this...
Pattern: Swirl Hat
Knitting needle: Zing, 2,75 mm, 3,25 mm
