Smooth Waves

Ok, I might just have this hat out of my system for a while. I love this hat style and the yarn I have been using. It is so soft and chunky. I also love the colors in this colorway. The aqua and greens just call to me. Usually I am a pink/red kind of girl, but these blues and green do make me happy too.

I bought a Boye pom pom maker recently to see how that worked for the poms. In the past I just wrapped the yarn around a piece of cardboard, etc. The cardboard made a good pom, but it was usually lopsided a bit. The pom pom makes makes a great pom. You are limited to size and fullness of the pom, but for most poms I will continue to use it. It was $3.75 well spent.

A short time back, I made a baby hat similar to this one. My dear bloggy friend, Lin, saw it and go me thinking about making an adult size one. It is cute and fun for anyone to wear.

Back when I was on my rolled brim hat jag, I was able to crank out these babies pretty quickly. It is like that with this style of hat. They are very similar except for the top and the pom poms. I feel another knitting jag coming on...
