PATTERN :Drawstring Hat and Neck Warmer 2010

Hiyaaaaa

SO!! I finally have a new pattern. This year its looong.

Anyways, you can purchase the pattern from Ravelry or Etsy.

I just have one tip to everyone who is thinking of trying to knit this. BLOCKING IS NECESSARY. When you knit lace, it looks horrible right off the needle. I mean, seriously. Look at this!

This is how the hat (Sapphire) looked when I just finished. After blocking, it looked like the finished product. This happens with every lace project, so if you’re a first time lace pattern knitter, don’t get discouraged!
