Wow, so it’s been a while! It has been almost seven months since I last posted about this hat and so much has changed in that time! So much to write about that I’m not even sure where to start, which is why I haven’t yet. \u00a0Anyway, I had originally designed the hat for a trip we were planning for Iceland, but due to some health issues I had to have surgery during the time we were supposed to be away, so unfortunately we had to cancel. Thank goodness we had travel insurance! As you can imagine, I wasn’t in a huge hurry to get to this hat since the trip was off and by the time I was recovered it was summer. Who wants to think about hats in the dead of summer, am I right?<\/p>\n Now, though… winter is coming! All I can think about is hat, scarves, mittens and sweaters. There’s a pretty solid record<\/a> of my love of autumn and the first thing on my to do list was to finally get the pattern for this hat out there.<\/p>\n If you recall from my previous post<\/a>, this hat was inspired by my favourite beach in Cape Breton. I had a specific type of hat in mind when I started this design\u00a0as\u00a0I don’t like really slouchy hats, but I don’t like fitted beanies either. I like a cross between a slouchy hat and a beanie, a sleanie? I’d totally call it that, but I like all the B’s. Black Brook Sleanie sounds weird, maybe I need to go back to the drawing board on this…<\/p>\n Other things I wanted were:<\/p>\n Before I could make any of those things happen, I\u00a0had to remake it, because firstly, I had completely forgotten the details of how I made it the first time and secondly, I hadn’t made any decent notes for myself. A very valuable lesson for a new designer like me… notes, LOTS OF CLEAR AND PRECISE NOTES! Honestly, I had\u00a0pages<\/em> of random notes scribbled on various pieces of paper regarding this hat and all it left me with 6 months later is a question about what particular type of drugs I may have been on when I wrote them.<\/p>\n Anyway, I got there in the end, with the added bonus of a non-pompom hat for my hubby! Oh, we’re so matchy-matchy. I figure we’re only about 5-10 years from matching velour tracksuits!<\/p>\n I hope you like it! \u00a0Please do tag me on Facebook<\/a> or Instagram<\/a> if you make the hat\u00a0and share photos as I would really love to see it.<\/p>\n Link one more time for those who missed it:<\/p>\n Update (December 12, 2016): It was brought to my attention that there was an error in the decrease section of the pattern.\u00a0Row one of the setup rows should read as follows:<\/p>\n k10 in pattern, 3stdec, (k20 in pattern, 3stdec) 4 times, k10 in<\/strong> This has been fixed in the PDF, so if you are downloading it after Dec 12, 2016 you will have the correct version. Sorry for any trouble!<\/p>\n This design is made with Sheepjes Merino Soft\u00a0yarn. \u00a0You can find a list of retailers that sell it\u00a0here on the Scheepjes website<\/a>. \u00a0It is also available worldwide via\u00a0Wool Warehouse<\/a>*.<\/p>\n *Affiliate Link<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Wow, so it’s been a while!
