Valentine's Day Hat 2015

Pattern:
Valentine's Day Hat 2015
Myself

Yarn:
Araucania Huasco
116 Lavender

For Valentine's Day this year, I wanted to use the same cable pattern that I used last year, the pretty heart, but I wanted to add something more intricate to complement the fingering weight yarn. I also wanted to have a slouchy hat that would work well for the balmy spring weather. The end result is one of my very favorite hats. The subtle stitch texture is really interesting and matches the color shifts well. I also really like the floral quality to the leaf cable. The yarn is also amazing. It is so soft and comfortable, and it holds its shape well. I love everything about the hat, especially since it was a good project for me to work on while I went through a rough Valentine's Day.

Took a while to get the right slouch shape

Really pretty quilted texture

Love the cable patterns
