Elora Slouchy Toque
Someone was in a good mood because they had no homework, so he indugled me by taking a few quick photos of me in my new hat.
This hat is already brightening my fall. It’s the Elora Toque from Tara-Lynn Morrison’s Good Night, Day Book 1.
I used my homemade size 13 double point needles to knit this with two strands of Wool of the Andes Bulky in cadet that I had leftover from Agnes. The contrasting dots were four strands of Wool of the Andes worsted in snickerdoodle. Basically, there was yarn hanging all over the place as I worked.
My only modifications were to reduce the cast on by 10 stitches. I don’t get how other people’s hats stay on their heads at that stitch count. I must have an abnormal skull or everybody knits way more tightly than me. I added dots every other row. My other post on this hat is here.
I like two color pompoms so much. Since it looks as though I’ll be making more, (I have a few hat requests) I cut a notch in my plastic pompom maker so I could wrap the yarn more easily.
It's a great hat! Looks like a quick knit, too. I like the contrasting dots of color and the pompoms.
This is adorable! I love the two-colored pom-pom. I've never seen one with a stripe like that.
Thank you, Tien! It was incredibly quick. I love working with super bulk yarn.
Ha, that was an accident but I like it too, Vanessa!
I love that blue tone and the tiny dots. Blue is my favorite color and I can never get enough of it 🙂
looks super comfy.
Me too, Elena. That was a happy stash accident.
It is, although it wasn't cold when I took this photo and mosquitos were all over me 🙂
