My second holiday knit. Ziggy by Woolly Wormhead. It’s a really lovely slouchy hat and the pattern instructions are very detailed so it’s hard to go wrong. It’s a really interesting construction as you knit it in wedges and then Kitchener stitch it together. That said you do need to concentrate on the lace pattern! Yarn was Rowan Pure Wool Worsted in Olive Green. Pattern is ravelled here.
It needs blocking but I’m very pleased with it. First Christmas present completed! I think my sister will be very pleased with this!
Happy Friday!!! Do you know any local yarn shops I can visit? Head on to the blog and let’s chat!!! πππ -Guenny

great hat! I am not a Kitchener fan, but maybe I should get over that and try this pattern. π

I don’t even know what ‘kitchener stitch’ is – but I super love this hat! I don’t very often see hats that I could wear so I get very enthusiastic when I do π

Kitchener stitch is a way of grafting/ sewing knitting together that leaves a minimal seam. Easy to do.

Construction sounds interesting – I like the finish Kitchener stitch gives but have never seen it in a hat pattern before.

Unless you feel inside for the slight seam you can’t see the join which is fab!
