Some Photos from the Calder Beanie

This is good "second" project for knitting. After you've mastered knitted dish clothes, move right on to garments. This hat is a good second project. It is quick easily mastered. Although, gauge is very, very important to all knitting and crocheting, a ribbed hat is very forgiving. Getting the gauge in the general region of "correct" will still result in acceptable results. The pattern for this project is available for free from the Rowan yard website. You will need to register your email to get the pattern. I chose two balls of Rowan hemp tweed yarn in a charcoal grey. I also knit this project as written, on two straight needles. The pattern could easily be converted to use a circular needle. It took about a week of knitting in front of the TV in the evening to finish this project.
