And the kids need stuff to keep ’em warm. First out, a hat for my 4yo boy 🙂
I know things have been quiet around here. Are you still around?
Result of stash bust. Turned out great! The four year old recipient seemed to approve very much! 🙂💕
Same improvised model as the one I made for my boy.
Super quick, super cute! Drops Eskimo used – the yarn is a bit rough for my taste, but stash busting we are! 🙂

For a while there I went completely nuts about knitting bulky hats. A perfect way to use up some stash, and also whipping up some gifts for Christmas. Let’s just say that these two are not the only ones. 🙂
Adult bonnet
Yarn; Araucania Azapa + Drops Air held double
Pattern: Charlotte’s Split Brim Bonnet
Had to do some digging among very old blog posts to find the name and source of a very nice yarn scrap I had. Normally I always remember, but not this time! It is Azapa from Araucania – a merino, alpaca and silk blend originally planned for a Lime Queen Tunic, but ended up as my wonderful Esjan shawl.
Now holding one thread Azapa with two threads Drops Air to make a winter hat for me!
