Dog-Walk Hat

Pattern: Cap Karma Hat (ravelry link here) free pattern available by joining the Yahoo Group SmariekKnits

Yarn: Malabrigo in the appropriately titled colorway “Autumn Forest” Adrienne gave me this yarn and I’ve been waiting for the perfect hat pattern for it because I love these colors and wanted to wear them on my head.

Modifications: I used Brooklyn Tweed‘s instructions for modifying the top decreases to continue the cable pattern found here. I also had to make it a bit smaller to fit my head/stop the pooling. I took out two pattern repeats (8 sts).

Why am I calling this the “Dog-Walk Hat”? Because this week’s dog-walks have looked like this:

Perfect weather for dog-walks.

Bonus:

Oso taking a short break between leaf chases.
