Koolhaas Hat
STR Heavyweight Rare Gems Colorway which as I knit it, I am thinking it used to be Little Bunnyfoo foo (pink and brown) in it's former life. I used this doubled to acheive a worsted weight. Yarn courtesy of my BMFA shopper thank you!
US 5 & 7 Circular, Magic Looped- heh, tried this on a 16" and no way I could even knit anything other than rib with this short of a cord. So ML it was.
Cast on: August 8, frogged and re-cast on August 9
Finished: August 18
The first time I knit it using recommended US 6 then 8, was way too big. Swatch a hat, no way, it was easier to frog and start again!
Close up of the yarn. See the pinks and browns peeking out...love it!
Not too bad of a back headshot! Good thing DD showed up, um as I had already taken like 10 shots trying to achieve this!It is a great pattern, I love the decreases too. It can get confusing on 2 rows of the repeats where you move the marker, but I read up on it before I started. Not sure if I'll ever knit another one anytime soon though. Each row seemed to go on and on...Oh and the yarn doubled, worked great, but this hat sure is heavy and I bet will be warm! You'll see it again soon ;)

Oh wow that looks fantastic! Love the colors in it.
Very cool! I'll have to give that pattern a try one of these days! :)
Very nice hat! You did a fantastic job; great color choice, too!
It's lovely! That color is gorgeous. I just knit one as well out of Shibuiknits Merino Kid. I need to weave in some ends and find a model.
Glad you're home safely!
Love the colors and the styling!
That yarn is gorgeous. Great hat!
Very pretty, I love this pattern... just won't have any reason to wear one for the next few years!
Gorgeous!!!!!!!! I loves it!! :)
now THAT's a good looking hat. Our Blue Moon shopper sure knows how to pick a pretty colour :0)
It's beautiful!! Here's hoping you get a cold winter ;-)
It's so pretty! And in STR, it must be soooo soft and snuggly!
What a great Koolhaas - I love that the variegation does not take away from the cabling one bit!
Gorgeous!! Love it!! You sure did rock the Olympics!
What a fun and colorful hat! I love it!
