Brooklyn Tweed’s Men’s Striped Hat
April 14, 2011
It’s a little busy around here today. I’ve got workmen in my house, going in and out constantly, because we’re remodeling a couple of bathrooms. I’m also setting up for a cooking lesson I’m giving tonight, where I’m going to teach how to make fresh pasta with a roasted pepper sauce.
But I have to get in a little knitting, somewhere, right? I’m continuing work on this little project, which I’ll write about later:
But I do have an FO to show you. Continuing on with my Christmas knitting, I’ve just finished this men’s hat from Brooklyn Tweed – a Jared Flood design. It’s a very simple hat and a quick knit. You use two yarns, a solid and a self striping yarn and alternate them. The hat can look so different, depending on the striping yarn you use.
I think the four decreases at the top are interesting.
I knit this using the Magic Loop method. The Shibui striping yarn was pooling as I was knitting it and I didn’t want every stripe to look the same. So every couple of rows, I would cut it and the next stripe I would begin striping it from the other end of the yarn ball.
Pattern: Turn a Square from Brooklyn Tweed
Yarn: Shibui Merino Worsted in Sand #51304 and
Cascade 220 Superwash in Walnut
Needle: US #6 and #7, Circular

I feel for you as we’re in the same boat around here, with construction workers in and out of the house for some major renovation work. Good luck with your bathrooms.
Love those socks, and the table set up photo. When I grow up I want to take photos like yours. 🙂
