my lovely hat [if i do say so myself]

i



This hat pattern is up on the Crystal Palace Site MMHat. It was knit with the 101 Intense Rainbow colorway Mini-Mochi color card but would be fun in most colors.
My husband is eager to wear it - so it's pretty versatile!

The Mini-Mochi yarn is a joy to knit with - i can't stop myself from "one more row" each time, and i love watching things grow as i knit.
but i also love how knits and purls show you a different "face" of the color, so it's fun creating wee pattern variations to keep the colors popping. and finally, the top was a lot of fun to do even though it's simple - enjoy!
