Of course the Every Love Hat is not a manly hat, and Bruce needed one for our walks. I had two skeins of Mountain Meadow Wool Sundance yarn in my recent stash acquisition pile so I looked for a pattern on Ravelry that I could use with them. The yarn came in a cool legacy yarn club that they have. I learned about them from the Fiber Nation Podcast. Anyway, I wasn’t keen on the pattern that came with, but found one that would work - the Mistake Rib Stitch Hat. It is basically a broken rib pattern and a super quick and easy knit, although I am not used to working with bulky wool and large needles. In fact I couldn’t use the needle called for in the pattern because I didn’t have that size (US 11). But I did have US 10 (6 mm) needles. I knit this up in a single day (Sunday, January 9). I adjusted the final decreases to make them more gradual (working a non decrease row between the decrease rows).
