I just finished a hat out of Brooklyn Tweed LOFT…yarn from my stash! It is Andraos, with a bold graphic design. I used bold contrast colors and a splash of red at the brim.
Invisible stranding helped me across the 19-stitch carries! I lightly felted this little guy by swishing it in hot water when I blocked it. I wanted to smooth out the very rustic appearance of the LOFT yarn. It is a lightweight, warm, unisex hat that I have already worn on cool spring days.
PS to Suzan: I might have to pull it out again! It’s suppose to be in the 30’s tonight!
It’s wonderful! Love the colors. Red splash is perfect.

As I began scrolling down from your opening text, I saw the chicken first and thought, “a chicken hat . . . that’s different”. But hey, nice chicken, and I like the actual hat, too. 😉
