Notes

Mmmm…luxurious alpaca! I’ve been wanting a project to use my alpaca yarn for and I stumbled on this pattern while looking for something to extend my cabling skills and thought this would be a good thing to make with the alpaca!

Have added a brim in turquoise - CO 144 as per pattern and knit 4 rows of: K2P2
If I knit this again in similar yarn, I would do more rows of ribbing to get a little bit extra length. Maybe 8 or 12 rows instead of 4.

Hibernating till wrists better able to cope with knitting this hat again.

Unhibernated as I want to free up the needles for a commissioned project!
