Hardly the most exciting photo, but my knitting has improved so much lately and I'm really pleased with how neat this hat looks so far.
I don’t know anyone irl who might be vaguely interested so I thought I’d post here! I’m making this hat for my MIL when I see her in a few weeks. It’s a free pattern and you can find it here.
Weirdly I only learnt to knit because my mum and friend are both having chemo and they wanted cozy hats (and my mum wanted a “chemo cardigan” which is obviously a bigger ordeal!) I definitely recommend Sirdar no.1 for bald heads. It’s 50:50 acrylic and nylon - so lovely and soft but still super easy to work with.
Here you go, it’s free! I adapted the pattern to a 1x1 rib, folded brim (at least 4x the length of the brim in the photo) and I used Sirdar no.1 chunky for the navy and white, and 2 strands of Sirdar no.1 DK for the blue and green-blue. I ditched a bubble round too as I didn’t want it too slouchy.
