I just can’t stop making hats at the moment.
The current one is an attempt to use up a big multipack of yarn I can’t remember why I bought. Each skein is 200g and for some reason I got four of them, so there’s a lot to work with!
It’s plain blue and I can only deal with boring in one aspect of my crafting, so I decided to add a wee bit of texture into this hat. After the ribbing I’ve started a 7-stitch repeat over a number that doesn’t divide by seven evenly, in the hope that it will offset and create a subtle spiral pattern.
I’ll see if it works out soon enough.
The thought has just occurred that I could use some of this stuff to make a Flax for myself. It would be much quicker than the Flax Light (yay for thick yarn!) so I’m seriously tempted…

I would definitely make a Flax with it:)
Canβt wait to see the hat!

What is a flax?

It’s a free jumper pattern from Tin Can Knits. Flax is for DK+ yarn and Flax Light is for thinner yarn. I, of course, started with the much slower fingering weight Flax Light so I’d like to try a thicker one and see how much faster it goes.

You should make a Flax with it. It would go fast and you would have another sweater.

I can never have too many, considering how flipping cold both the office and my flat are!

I like the idea of a Flax too, it would be a great stash buster for the yarn. I hope your hat swirling pattern works out.

It will certainly use the yarn up faster than making 20 hats!
