Oh yes, another new hat hot off the needles!
This is the July vertical KAL at Wormhead's Hats. The pattern is Sloochie and i used the Lett-Lopi that Terri sent me in the Santa Swap last November.
I love my new hat :oD
I added 6 rows of stocking stitch after the cabled brim as i know that a flat brim doesn't suit me and the resulting little roll is just perfect! I found the wool quite uneven in places it was as thin (if not thinner) than a 4ply but it's classed as an aran and i got gauge of 18sts to 4" on 4.5mm dpns. When i hit a thin bit i either tore it out and spit spliced the two ends or i just doubled the wool over and spit on it LOL
I used a little over one ball, if i hadn't added the extra 6 rows it would have been less than one ball by a couple of yards ;o)
