For those of you who may have already knitted this wonderful little hat by Brooklyn Tweed you know he designed it to basically use up leftover yarn. I knitted all three hats from 1 skein of Noro Silk Garden and 1 skein of Cascasde 220 Superwash. I was honestly expecting to only get 2 hats but decided to try and sqeak out a third, because really, what would I have done with the bit that was left. As you can see in the third hat I did run out of the Noro yarn right at the end. I only needed enough for 4 more rows but it wasn't to be. I finished the last few rows in black. Does it look bad? All in all, I love how the coloring worked out in all the hats.

Pattern: Turn A Square by Brooklyn Tweed
Yarn: Cascade 220 Superwash (815); Noro Silk Garden (289)
Needles: 16" circs Sizes 6 & 7; DPNs size 7
Hat 1: Started & Finished November 26th
Hat 2: Started November 26th; Finished November 27th
Hat 3: Started November 27th; Finished November 28th

  1. I like like like the black at the end. It seems like it lets the colors in the rest of it pop a little more They are some most excellent hats.

  2. You certainly have been productive! The black just looks like a design element and balances out the ribbing. They are lovely!

  3. Fast hats! I wouldn't have noticed the extra black if you didn't point it out so I think it's just fine. :-)

  7. Wow, you cranked those hats out like a short order cook cranks out pancakes. Love them. And the black top on hat #3 looks excellent. I have some leftover cascade and mostly kureyon but I could make it work with kureyon.
