Pattern: Chic Knits Elisbeth Cap
Yarn: WW Kashmir
Colorway: Red Riding Hood
Needles: US 8
After having knit so many headbands and another one on the needles due to daughter #3 losing hers and wanting another one, as she is known as the girl with the knit headband, I thought it was time to give the cap a try.
I went with the longer slouchy version and I love it!
Hannah just happened to be home for a few days, so I managed to get her to let me take a few pictures before she headed off to work. She has to work one shift every so many weeks to stay on the payroll where she works, and she wants to work there again this summer, so she comes home, which is nice.
When she saw the hat blocking yesterday, she laughed, saying "Mom, that is huge!" It's going to be waaaay too big. I said, you are going to be surprised. I don't wear hats and I would wear this one. She laughed at me in disbelieve.
So when we finished with pictures, guess what her response was? " I think I would love one of these!" Ha! I'm seeing the succession of hats now with 4 daughters and a granddaughter.
Thanks Bonne Marie for another wonderful pattern!

So pretty! The red against the white backdrop is striking. You should frame these photos. 🙂

I just finished the same hat, Kashmir (Clara Bow) from the 2012 Woolen Rabbit yarn club. Mine is drying and will be whisking its way to DC tomorrow, in time for more freezing weather. I LOVE this pattern, thanks for sharing it with us.
I’ve made two headbands and this is my first hat. And this yarn is to die for! I will wander over to your shop and choose a couple of other colorways to make a few more for the nieces in the family. Christmas knitting will commence early this year!
PS. The sandhill cranes have been flying over by the score the last two days. I think of you each time I hear them.

I too am a non wearer of hats…but I might change my mind for this beauty! Hannah is a lovely model, and you’re right, all her sisters etc. are going to want one.

Perfect! (I don’t know how you keep up with the knitting for so many “knit-worthy” folks!)
