Purple Haze Hat

 It seemed that a hat to go with the mittens would be nice
So here is a simple hat using the same rib pattern as mittens







I made this up as I went along

In summary:
Cast on 152 stitches
rib: 20 rows K1tbl, P1
body: k1 P3
Crown:  12 decreases spaced evenly on alternate rows to 12 stitches

I used more than 1 ball of yarn but luckily had the leftovers from the mittens
It took just about 3 balls for both projects

Pattern: Personal
Yarn: Patons Kroy Socks
Colour: 55708 Purple Haze

Purple Haze Mittens

 I needed something to keep my hands busy in the evenings and MRR has needed and kept 2 pairs of my mitts
So some slightly dressy but not fancy ones were needed
A fine yarn seemed like a good idea so sock yarn would be a good choice and I wanted a fairly dense fabric
All of which led me to this pattern
I love the colours in this yarn and they will go nicely with all my winter coats
