Bulky Alpaca Hat
After a rash of knitting-disasters, the wonderful Pithy Hat has revitalized my zest for fiber.
Pattern: Pithy Hat, modded for bulky yarn use
Yarn: Mirasol Sulka (60% merino, 20% alpaca, 20%20 alpaca 20% silk)
Things I'd change:
Actually, not much. It's a wee bit too long in the back, but I can live with that.
I really really quite love this yarn. It does shed like a mad, moulting canary (hey, d'like my apropos simile there? eh? I try!), so I would personally only use it for accessory knitting.
