I used up some leftover yarn to knit a quick hat, Trilobite. This is another free pattern from Knitty. (I sure knit a lot of Knitty patterns, don’t I?)
Even though I hate bugs, I thought this pattern was really cool and something I wanted to make. When I think of trilobites, I think of trips to the natural history museum, where they have huge trilobite fossils. Actually, I haven’t been to the museum in awhile, so maybe the fossils just seemed huge because I was a little kid. This was a quick knit; I couldn’t put it down because I wanted to see what next row of the chart would look like, all the way until the end.
I used Dream in Color Classy in the Tea Party colorway that was leftover from my Lucy in the Sky Cardigan. I thought the rusty brown was an appropriate color for a trilobite. I figured this hat would take all my leftovers, but I still have a lot left, probably enough for another hat. Maybe I’ll make coordinating wrist warmers.
That’s the last of the finished projects, for awhile at least. I have several projects going now, and lots more planned. There are so many sweaters, socks, and scarves I want to knit, it’s just a matter of when I will get around to all of them.
The pictures are very good & really show the trilobite pattern. I think your choice of yarn color was very well thought out for this pattern. You should make the matching wrist warmers because those always come in handy.
Where are all of your new projects?
