Finished today, in my lunch break. This will be one of my favourite hats. I still need to weave in the ends and block it AND make pics, but that’s an easy task!
Have I mentioned that it’s a lovely hat?

This is going along really well. The pattern is easy to memorize, the yarn is a dream to knit with, and the combination of both probably makes for an all-time favourite.
I’m debating whether I’m knitting half a repeat less before doing the decreases. After 2 repeats the hat already is long enough and i suspect it will grow a bit after washing & blocking it. I hope my tight gauge helps reducing the growth, because the fit is perfect right now. We’ll see.
