Neige hat

I know it's a little early for snow, but I wanted some instant-gratification knitting last weekend.

Neige hat.


neige hat flat
I unvented the pattern, casting on 48 stitches and working garter in the round till it was tall enough, then decreasing gradually to round the top.

The yarn is Blue Sky Alpaca Bulky, in a soft cloud grey.


neige hat 2
I used 2 skeins.


neige hat front
It's extremely warm and soft.


neige hat back
Winter, I'm ready when you are.

    Sweet -- a hat I may even wear -- if I can ever get knitting again -- we missed you tonight!

    It is simple and beautiful. I love the slight chunkiness of the yarn.

    Love it! Very classic and cozy with all that squooshy garter stitch.

    Your hair is so long -- it looks great! I've been growing mine out, too, but you have me beat.

    You can't go wrong preparing too early. And who says you can't wear them through the fall?

    Beautiful! That yarn looks just perfect for winter (and fall! Let it still be fall for just a little longer).

    Love the simplicity of this design and how you make the bulky alpaca shine. But, please don't make it snow yet.

    Hi Nicole,
    Yes I know but I also know that it's taking a lot of time for overseas parcels to arrive, I ordered a pair of shoes from Canada 1 month ago and still haven't received it...
    Thank you, I love my new dress especially beacause it's so warm :)
