Bright Hats!

Yarn: Red Heart Super Saver in 302 Kaleidoscope - Needles: US 8

  I saw Quynn by Woolly Wormhead on Ravelery and wanted to try my hand at making something similar.  While I didn't do too badly, I think their version is much cuter.

Pattern: BUN Hat by Andi OldTrout - Size: 18" - Yarn: Red Heart Super Saver in 302 Kaleidoscope - Needles: US 10

  I saw on a post by lindstitch on Instagram where she showed how to easily make yarn thicker.  Really handy if you don't want to buy new yarn but also don't have the correct weight.  It is pretty much doing a chain ply, like when spinning, and is really smart.  The resulting yarn was too thick for the size 10s I was trying to use, and I ended up not having enough yarn to finish the hat.  For this hat I just doubled up the yarn.

  I feel like the yarn tracker is making me look a lot better than it should be at this point.  It seems that even though people are still bringing their extra yarn to the get-togethers, none of it has really been speaking to me.  There were a few I was tempted by, but after I put it back down to think about it, someone else saw it and loved it.

  It is also worth noting that not all skeins are the same size.  I've had to use two to make a hat from one brand and have used one skein to make a few hats of another.
