While Jason was in Oregon having a "guys weekend" I knit up this winter hat for him. It's the Turn a Square Hat by Brooklyntweed. Its a great basic hat with raglan decreases for the top shaping- making the stripes form these cool squares on top. I used some Elann Peruvian Highland Chunky from the stash (leftover from the Urban Aran Cardigan- hey another Brooklyntweed project!) and some Noro Kuryon. I've been wanting to try Noro yarn for a while but haven't found the right project. This was a nice small one to start with. I like the stripes here, but since I used pretty neutral colors it doesn't have quite the dramatic effect as say something like this. Next up: a hat for the 6-year old and some more socks.
