I will be making a hat for Yannick’s friend Mike as a birthday gift, and while waiting for his head size I decided to swatch possible designs. I was thinking of a row of mini moose around the base, but didn’t realize how big they’d come out. The moose is borrowed from the Baby Norgi sweater (at http://www.knitty.com, check the archives) but I can’t use it- it’s huge. The whole hat would be moose and I wanted just a tiny 1″ border of something. I think I’ll just do a few rounds of stripes with a peerie pattern of some kind in between. Like how nasty the moose came out? I was trying to flub my swatch as if I was knitting in the round. Wanna see the back? Trust me, you don’t.
