Tagssnowed in!
As many of you have heard—since it’s been all over the news, Twitter, and Facebook—the East Coast got socked with a blizzard the Sunday after Christmas. It’s too bad it couldn’t make for a white Christmas, but it sure did make things pretty. During the day on Sunday, when the snow was falling but there wasn’t enough on the ground to play with, I was consumed by an uncontrollable burst of creative energy that had me bouncing off the walls. I tried starting a blanket, but the yarn wasn’t right. I sewed for a few hours. And then I pawed deep into my yarn stash, came up with a skein of bulky, and I cast on for a hat!
And I finished it three hours later. Huzzah! Creativity properly harnessed. I tweaked the Cordova pattern to fit my gauge, and I changed the set-up row so I wouldn’t have such giant holes at the base of the pattern. [In case you’re interested, I worked the first set-up row as (K1, yo, k1, yo, k1, p1) repeated across. The second row was just (K5, p1) across.] I’ve never had a sort of slouchy hat before, and though I wonder if it just looks like it’s too big, I am liking that it’s not so beanie-like. I will say that despite the lace pattern it was plenty warm when we went outside to play the day after the blizzard!

Amazing scenes…it all looks so beautiful! The hat is pretty funky too!. Stay warm x
I can’t believe how much snow you guys got! Winter wonderland :)
This hat is too cute, love it. I’m regretting not bringing more yarn home for the holidays to work on things, I’m itching to make something warm!
Wow, looks great. All our snow in London was gone by Christmas…
Wow! look at those poor cars! stuck under the snow. in CT we got a lot of snow but not that much! the main problem was the wind! gorgeous cozy-looking hat.
Love your hat! Great pics!
There’s something peaceful about these scenes, I love it. I am in Montreal and you have no idea what a relief it was that this snow-storm missed us (for once). Love the hat! What a great way to spend the time.
it totally doesn’t look like a slouchy hat from the front.
