Cherry Tree Hill Hat.




I've never knit a hat with such light weight yarn before, I've always used DK. But when I saw this Cherry Tree Hill yarn called Sockittome it didn't scream socks, it wanted to be a hat and scarf perhaps a set of fingerless gloves as well.

The instructions were very simple although they didn't mention if they were to be knit on circs or straights, I chose circs but towards the end had to change to DPNs. The pattern is called Avatar hat by Barbro Wilhelmsson it was a nice easy knit and the sock yarn gave me a lovely shmooshy hat that is really light but warm.

I quite pleased with how the colours pooled, they seem to have a slight spiral to them. Just now have to find a nice scarf pattern to go with it.
