pattern: marsan watchcap
yarn: 1.3 skeins blue sky alpacas worsted, olive
needles: us 8
mods: c/o 97 stitches for a 24" head. be aware that this mod with this yarn makes a very large hat. the intended likes hats with full ear coverage.
i made this hat as a valentine's present last year. kind of. i promptly repossessed it when i realized he intended to wear it uncuffed. i had a hunch that 7's weren't going to work for the yarn... but who wants to buy a new set of needles, when you can just reknit the entire hat a year later? i do love this hat though, and she's done some revision to the pattern (such as including a gauge). not only is it gorgeous, it's super quick. it's a great pattern to have in your library around the holidays.
