Last month the sale yarn at the Knit Shop was Louisa Harding Kashmir DK, a super-squishy merino\/microfiber blend with a touch of cashmere. I bought 2 skeins to make CO some mitts for her birthday, but only used a tiny bit of the second skein, so I went back and snapped up a 3rd to make a floppy beret. I&#8217;d been seeing these hats around and decided I had to have one. Bonus: this yarn is my very favorite color &#8211; a rich, teal-blue.<\/p>\n<p>I looked on Ravelry for free patterns and there were a lot but none of them were for DK weight yarn. I decided to just make up my own, since I have big head and I wanted the hat to really be floppy. I had a bit of trial and error to make it tall enough before decreasing, but once I got started on the final version I finished it off within a week. This is my first new hat in years &#8211; and I love it.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ravelry.com\/projects\/fidget\/blue-beret\" target=\"_blank\">Ravelry link<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Finally posting photos of my newest finished knit.
