And boy, did I cut it close on the yardage (see, it was one ball, but I'd swatched with it before, so it was more like 3/4 of a ball). See photo above right for how much was left when I finished the decreases. Ooh that was close. Now I just hope it fits the little kidlet.
Specs
- Yarn: Trendsetter Yarns Scoubi Du in color 054 (Pink stone wash)
- Needles: Addi Turbo size 6, 16 inch circulars, plus bamboo size 6 dpns
- Pattern: Borrowed sizing & decreases from this one, but the hat itself doesn't really look much like it ;-). Thanks for the sizing, though!
- Modifications: Added eyelet row about an inch and a half up, skipped the top knot when I ran out of yarn.
In other news, I think I neglected to post a picture of Max's cool new loft bed from IKEA.
After spending the first night up top, he decided he'd rather sleep on the floor underneath. And after I ironed the canopy up top, he decided he didn't want that on the bed. Ah well.

You'll have to let me know how you like the bed. We are considering getting one and using it for a bunk for the boys to free up some space in their room. I just want to know how sturdy it is, as my boys are, um, a little bit excited at times!
Love the hat! Super cute!
Max's bed looks fun, I think he should keep the canopy. (especially after you spent all the time ironing it.)
What a cute hat! Perfect use for that yarn!
