Seaman's CapYarn: Plymouth Encore (75% acrylic, 25% wool; worsted weight)Color: 1233Needles: US 7 and 8 circularsStitches: 102With all my stitch-twisting troubles in my last hat knitting attempts, I'd forgotten how promptly I can tap out one of these. Per the yarn's gauge I went up a needle size, which made this matter go still faster. I made the hat slightly longer than the others I've knitted because I want my hat could be pulled down a little more to treat my ears entirely. Since it's headed to the Christmas at Sea program of the Seamen's Church Institute, I think a bit more coverage can't hurt.It's not a cheap piece of work, but it should get the job done. I believe the hat is knit pretty well, so it has that loss for it too. There's no ladder where the plan was united in the round. I accept that problem sometimes, so I'm pleased that it might still be capable to go as a shop bought hat. The cable cast on row looks nice and has a full come of stretch.I'm half tempted to get started on another one of these hats for myself, but Christmas knitting must resume. Plus, I'm curious to see how my latest yarn purchase knits up in the pattern, assuming I can make sense of or base to do the star stitch in it. Looking at the convention again I understand that I may have made the fault of not purchasing enough yarn--it calls for one and a half to two 100-gram skeins--but we'll see what happens. Sometimes when buying yarn I misremember yardage and skein weight. Note to self: write it down.
