Fuzzy Logic: Ribbed-entrelac hat

[fuzzyjay]

I actually finished a garment. OK, it's a hat. Not so big. Such is my attention span.

I'm making another one now. This one is a tad small, but I ran out of yarn. I decided to use red to finish it off, and I think it looks kind of neat. It's a feature, not a bug!

This hat is created from entrelac squares that are done in ribbing. I used 3 by 3 ribbing because it's quite stretchy and I didn't want to swatch or anything. I figured with the stretchiness the hat would fit my head no matter what.

I'm writing up a pattern for it. More pictures of this on my Flickr account, and more info at my Ravelry page (user name "yarnover").

I really like it. It sort of reminds me of Huddy's Doodle

That's the kind of doodle I did a lot as a kid. I like that type of symmetry, I guess.

Is it warm? i.e. is Yarn as warm as whatever synthetic material my current hat is made out of?

This is made of wool. Wool has some interesting properties. One of them is that wool retains its insulating properties even when it is quite wet.

However, this hat is not knit very tightly, so it's not as wind-proof as a hat made of felted wool or some other material might be.

That's a very cool hat.

Thanks!

I have no skills in creating something like this. Most excellent and fetching, my friend! It's been really, really cold here in Minneapolis (no surprise), a hat like this would come in quite handy!

HUGS!

Thank you, Neil.

That's lovely!

Cora, my sometimes assistant, crochets quite a bit... I think she knits, too, but she just finished something in red, after running out of the original yarn!

I grind stuff out on a knitting machine, but not fancy... I may learn how to finesse it, eventually, though.

My favorite is this toy knitting machine that does tubes..... I use a lot of that fun-fur through it.

It looks a bit like a sultan's turban - if the sultan lived in the PNW. Creative!

Very impressive and beautiful!

I've always liked that kind of tessellated pattern. Congratulations on the completion! :)

Really Handsome Jay.

oh, and the hat is swell too!

Happy New Year old friend.

Looks good, also as one who has no skills in that area, I'm impressed! And the accent of red is nice, always a plus to throw in a 'detail' like that ;)

Nifty. I love the design and the colour. Kind of like moss doing a square dance.

Magnificent hat--and you are very handsome in it!

I hope you don't mind if I add your journal to my flist; I always like to see talented people in my daily reading.
