Chinelle hat!

[Addey]

Just finished this up this morning. It finally snowed here in PA overnight and so I made up a quick little hat.

 

I found the pattern on CPC: http://www.angelscrochet.com/patterns/basicbucketpat.php

I changed it around a bit (as usual!) It called for worsted weight and an I hook. I used Lion Brand Thick and Quick Chinelle and a K hook. I also only did 4 rows of increases (so the even is 50 stitches, not 60), only 4 rows of even and the last row of green in the brim was a row of 80 and the silver is a 90 round of sc. I hope that makes sense. It's warm and fuzzy. I normally don't like fuzzy, but this is fleece fuzzy, not fun-fur fuzzy, so I 'm happy.

I still don't know why my pictures won't link properly, but there ya go.

Cute hat, I really like the picture of you wearing it with the camera covering your face for some reason.

Love that hat. Now that I'm making progress on my wips I might take a little break and try that, need a hat to wear to our pond hockey tournie.

The hat only took about 2 hours of time, so wasn't a huge amount.

Oh, if anyone wants to know, it takes between 4 and 5 oz of yarn in the chinelle... I think that's just about 1 skein (I used parts of two partial skeins, so I'm not sure and the lable only gave me yardage...)

Love the hat....it's nice to have a good pattern that's not

a beanie!

That is a cute hat. Nice brim to keep the snow off.

I spent a lot of time looking for a 'not a beanie' pattern back in September or October. When I went looking again earlier this week, I found about 5 or 6 brimed hats that weren't beanies or fold-up brims like ski caps pretty quick.

It is very warm and fairly windproof too. It keeps my ears nice and warm since it rests right over the tops of them.

That's good to know! thanks for the link to the pattern.
