snow in the woods

For my Dad who concurs the icy roads, summits the mountains, and builds rockets like he's a superhero.


I have another winter knit to share with you today. This one made from the Norwegian Star Earflap Hat (available as a free download on Ravelry), but I knit it backwards; from the top down. I started with DP4s and switched to a C5 once the crown was completed, (Thorpe is a good pattern for this) then knit the snow pattern, added a garter st brim and, for the finishing touch, a crochet border with a half double crochet stitch on 6s.

Cozy knits, warm head, happy heart.
