Skipton hat

I just realized that this is my first crochet hat, for me. Well it was about time!

This is Skipton hat. It is designed by Vicki Brown.

She designed the hat last year while traveling to Yarndale by train. 

I bought the yarn two weeks ago from Yarndale, from Vicki Brown herself. The yarn is dk weight (75% superwash merino, 25% nylon) and it has 225 m per 100 g. I used hooks that was mentioned in the pattern, 3.5 mm for the headband and 5 mm for the rest of the hat. 

This was super easy to make, and fast too. The yarn is ah, so soft! 

If you are looking for a slouchy hat pattern, this is it!

Ps. the shawl is Victoria Shawl by Sandra Paul
