Now we need to find yarn and a pattern for an earflap hat. Internet searches result in ideas, but no specific pattern. Amber and I go on a yarn crawl, decide on Manos Silk Blend "Wildflower" and buy 2 skeins. I experiment a bit and create my own pattern combining stockinette and seed stitch.
Cottonelle models the almost complete hat. If you look closely, you can see a double point needle sticking out of the top of the hat.
The completed hat, lined in polarfleece for extra warmth.
The hat only used 1 skein. I'll be making something with the other skein, stay tuned!
Amber found a 1950s shrug pattern. We found an ivory mercerized cotton, it knit up quickly, and made the trip to Budapest along with the earflap hat.
