deux!

here they are! the other two hats that i knit in january.

this little number is the sockhead hat by kelly mcclure which is a freebie on ravelry and uses one skein of sock yarn. i used blue moon fiber arts socks that rock in the colorway 'knitters without borders' which has been occupying my stash for way too long (i shudder to think of how many years!). love the slouchey look and the fact that it uses up an entire skein of sock yarn as i have declared 2014 the year of sock yarn reduction!

speaking of slouchey, here is the rikke hat by sarah young, who is the owner of happy knits in portland. it is completely knit in garter stitch in the round which actually involves knitting a row of knit stitches followed by a row of purl stitches. this wonderful madelinetosh aran yarn in the colorway 'vanilla bean' made it just perfect for the cold, snowy days we've had this week! brrrrrrrr!
