No it’s not a new pattern, it’s the same pattern I’ve used for the 15+ versions of the same hat (I’ve gifted about half of them and the other are in my “Cold Weather Hat Stash”.)
I’m still working on the granny square blanket I last posted about in Starting a New Granny Square Blanket but I wanted an even more portable project for my recent California roadtrip with friends (and one of my friends is a knitter and would be bringing along a knitting project).
I found a skein of black yarn with little flecks of color and figured that would work – I don’t have a hat in that color in my Hat Stash!
Here I am in the car knitting away while we drove to cool places like quilt shows, quilt shops and the Muir Woods National Monument (John Muir Woods)!


you look really cool in your hats, so yay to a new one!

Little flecks of colour in black will go with everything!

Thank you and look forward to wearing it during cold weather season (but I am happy to be hat free during warm weather season ha!)

I’ve been to Muir Woods many times in the past but recently they want us to make reservations- way too many PEOPLE- for parking.,it’s a beautiful park though.

I can only imagine the fantastic photos you took while there 🙂
We got there at 9:00 am and it wasn’t too bad but two hours later it was awfully crowded and less magical!
