Knitting the Red Light Special hat was such a joy, that I had to try another hat. I have been an ardent admirer of Jared Flood's knitting. I saw his new beanie, Koolhass on his site and was pleased to see it included in the Interweave Holiday Knits magazine. I was determined NOT to order the yak yarn and use up something in out of my stash.
After rooting around in all my baskets, I came up for air after finding a couple of skeins of Elann Peruvian Highland Wool in dark grey heather. It was the perfect weight.
I was able to complete this hat from cast on to completion in less than a week.
As always, Connie stuck her head out for the photos.
