Notes

As nobody was interested in buying this yarn, I decided I might as well knit with it myself. I am using both double-threaded and so far, I quite like what I get.

December 19, 2018

Okay, 100 stitches would have been enough - even with only 4 mm needles and with a big, 59 cm head like mine.

I can always wear it with the brim folded up but I like it better with the brim down.

The shape is great, it really huggs the head and is nice and cozy and warm.

Knitting garter in the round will definitely NOT become me favourite, but it went ok.

You can hardly see the sequins in the Lana Grossa yarn, but it is used up now and I like the look it creates with the lighter grey.

I might use the rest for a garter stitch cowl of some sort.

I used 1 full ball and a little of the Lana Grossa yarn and not even a full ball (guess around 40 g) of the Drops yarn.
