Scrappy Silver Lining
I started the Scrappy Silver Lining Hat in September from sock yarn remnants, and I'm still working on it during Sunday Face Time calls with my niece and sister. I'm almost to the final decreases.
This has been a wonderful, mindless knitting project, using two small balls of scrap yarn in random order, knitting helical stripes. The yarn is doing all the work, and I'm trying not to control the color order. So far, I've used about 10 small balls of sock yarn. The hat is reversible: one end is wild; the other, subdued.
Good job
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful! I love a lined hat. One layer is never enough once it gets really cold and windy. We're back to mild temps again here. It's been a real roller coaster. I guess our chances for a white Christmas is nil.
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty yarn and it looks so soft. We have a winter weather advisory here for this afternoon and evening, but the sun is shining now. So who knows if we'll get any snow. We sure need it.
ReplyDeleteOh I like this - so pretty and fun Nancy. Perhaps this is what I should do with some of my sock remnants (I have SO MANY!!!)
ReplyDeleteLooks like a good way to use up sock yarn! Stay warm!
ReplyDeleteYou sure do have a great sense of color to make that work! What a great pattern and soon will be a great hat!
ReplyDeleteWhat a bright and cheerful hat. You will enjoy wearing it and thinking of all the memories from the scraps of yarn.
ReplyDeleteLOVE all the colors, and I love mindless knitting. It's just relaxing and fun. Good way to use up left overs. Spotted you on a mutual friends blog and thought I'd pop in for a visit. It's always fun to meet new bloggers.
ReplyDeleteGood for using up the drinks and drabs from previous pairs of socks. I’ve just let my leftover sock yarn sit around. Does it count that I made a hat and a scarf from yarn hanging around although I haven’t finished weaving the ends in on the scarf? I’ll be donating these once I get them finished. I’m looking forward to seeing the hat finished.
