Kat (Knitting)


Pattern Name: Kat by Kim Hargreaves
Yarn: Zara Kid, Charcoal, 2.4 skeins
Needles: US 5 (3.75mm) & US 7 (4.5mm)

I had this hat on my queue for a while, so I am very happy to be able to finally finish it.  Instead of Rowan Kid Classic, I used Zara Kid.  Unlike Kid Classic, the yarn I used had more substance to it, very tightly spun, and the knitted fabric feels much heavier than the original.  So the hat is a little too big for my head.  But it's ok I guess.

I also took a photo of the bolero I finished a while ago.  (My hair color is new!)
