This hat is called Once Upon a Tam it is a free Ravelry
download. It is based on a hat seen on Once Upon a Time (the TV show on ABC)
which I like for the lovely hand knits. This photo is not the best and the color is really darker and prettier. Plus I have not yet blocked the hat. The pattern is really well written. Of course, my row gauge
is off as usual so I added some plain knitting rows between the charts.
Issues: The 1st time I cast on the needle was too
large and I did not like how it looked, so I ripped it out. 2nd cast
on, I got through row 2 when I realized that I had twisted the stitches and I had
to rip it out again. The cast on is 168 stitches, this I a lot of ripping out,
just saying. The 3rd time
worked just fine.
I thought about using a larger needle for the body of the
hat, but I really like the fabric I got with the 3.
The yarn is Lotus Mimi, it is 100% Mink. It was very nice to
knit with (although it was a little slippery) and the end product is soft and
light as air. It is fantastic.
