Fresh FO My Moonshine Molly

Molly hat

Another week, another hat! I actually finished this hat last week and wove in the ends over the weekend. This week the weather has been snowy and cold, giving me ample opportunity to work this hat into the handknit rotation (along with a good number of other handknits as documented on Instagram!). I used the Molly pattern, slightly modified to be more beanie-like. I think I did fourteen repeats? The pattern might read a bit confusing (it’s not if you take it one step at a time), and I found Melsa29’s project notes to be helpful.  This hat is huge, in a good way – it fits over my hair and hair clips without looking too weird with the bumps underneath. The yarn I used is Juniper Moon Farm Moonshine in the June Bug colorway, a sort of greeny-teal. I am really pleased with this project – the depth of color, with a little bit of shine (there’s silk in the yarn, along with wool and alpaca), and it’s comfortable. This project also counts for my Headgear KAL for the Eat.Sleep.Knit Yarnathon and I was able to pick up a few new badges, so all around it’s a win.

My favorite picture of me in the hat is this outtake – my son was being silly taking selfies with me and then Jackson popped in too.
