Welcome back! And today, FO Friday happens with something many of you haven't seen before! This started as a Magazine Submission. . . but I kind of fell in love with it, so, now it's done, and II plan to self-publish it!
This is the Alpine Hat!
Yarn and Hook are both from a *Leither Co. Kit! Hook is one of their *crochet hooks (3.5 mm /US E), while yarn is * "Blushing Sage" on their DK Weight Base. I won the kit in question from the Yarn Thing Podcast by Marly Bird, and I'm thrilled, because I never would have found or tried this out otherwise!
I was actually originally worried, given that I find a lot of crochet hooks cause my hands to cramp. But, not this hook, which is great cause for celebration! It's also not too big for my hands (another common challenge I find!) And the yarn is 100% Superwash Merino, and while soft, it's doesn't pill like some merino yarns I've worked with. It's held up well to some frogging, so, that's always a bonus!
The hat you're seeing is actually a size Large, at 25.5 inches in diameter. It's nice and squishy. . . but too big for me. So it will be going up in my Etsy shop, once I get everything sorted. This does mean that I will have to make a second (size small) hat for me to model for pattern photo shoots, so that's going to be a thing over the next couple of months! And that means the testing call for this hat is still a bit away, but, still, stay tuned!
Anyway, what have you folks finished on this glorious FO Friday? Share your Finished Objects in the comments!
