It was finally cool enough to wear a hat this morning πŸŽ‰. This is probably my favorite that I've made, the yarn is a wool and mulberry silk blend πŸ”₯πŸ”₯ the name was something like ride 'em cowgirl 🀠. The pattern is the Horntail Beanie. #knit #knitstr #yarn #handmade #craft

That's lovely 🧑

Thank you. πŸ«‚πŸ’œ

I like the colours in that. Soft and doesn’t look busy. It would go with lots of things. πŸ’œ

Thank you! It's so lovely and soft and squishy. I fell in love with the yarn the second I saw it, it's not too pink or too peach and the speckles 🀌🀌.

I had to google Horntail beanie because I’d never heard of it before. I am now slightly more educated on yarn creations, which brings my total knowledge on such subjects to a grand total of… one πŸ˜‚

Thank you for sharing πŸ’œ

Did you go with a pompom or sans pompom?

Always learning!! πŸ˜‚ Yes, there's a pattern designer that did a ton of patterns named after Harry Potter creatures and characters! The textures are really good.

I do no pom, I absolutely love the big faux fur poms but I think they look weird on my head πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ.

I love HP! Now I need to google these patterns. Maybe one day I will learn how to make one!

I get it about the pompom. I think they look weird on my head too. But maybe everyone thinks that? Maybe we just need to be brave and embrace weirdness 😁

Jenny Noto is the lady's name and her pattern brand is called Wanded, she sells patterns on Ravelry and Etsy looks like. I totally geeked out when I came across her. I would buy all of them if I lived in a colder climate and have a different hat for every day πŸ˜‚.

Thanks for sharing!!

I’m now off to spend an hour down a rabbit hole I did not expect to find myself in today!

The patterns are lovely πŸ₯°

It almost makes me want to take up knitting until I remember I’m really bad at it as my tension is either frighteningly tight or holey moley! πŸ˜‚

Best left to experts!

I splurged on black Friday one year and got a set of hiya hiya stainless steel needles with sharp tips and mine evened out. But I was determined to knit a pair of socks and a cabled hat as neither of those come out great in crochet. It's always there if you decide to give it a go ☺️☺️

They sound deadly! πŸ’€β˜ΊοΈ

Had a hole in my finger when I first got them. I learned quick after that πŸ˜‚.

Trial by wounding!! Get better or bleed πŸ˜³πŸ˜‚
