Silver Lining Hat made with several scraps of sock yarn Summer 2023 Last night just before sunset, I snapped photos of the Silver Lining (reversible) hat which I knit this summer with several small bits of scrap sock yarn. Most of the knitting was done during Sunday Face Time calls with my nieces and my sister. The hat grew about two inches during each of the weekly video chats.  hat turned inside out The sun sets early this time of year, and the golden light quickly disappears. The hedge outside my front door turns a brilliant red when the conditions are right, and the transformation has begun. Many of the trees and shrubs around town are just beginning to change color. Morning temperatures have been in the mid to upper 30s, and daytime temperatures are now in the mid 70s. I hope this is an extended Fall, but I doubt that it will be. 

one side of the reversible hat March 2023 I am very pleased with this scrappy Silver Lining (reversible) hat. It’s knit with five/six different sock yarn scraps, using the helical stripe technique. The helical stripes help the scraps to blend more completely than just alternating yarn for each row. other side of the reversible hat It’s still Winter in this area, but the hat will go in the donation box for next year. 

Scrappy Silver Lining Hat March 2023 According to my last measurement, it is time to start the decreases for the crown of this reversible hat. This is the fifth hat I've knit using the Silver Lining Hat pattern with scrap sock yarn. Each hat is unique and fun, and I love the one I kept for myself.
