DAH DAHHH!!!!!!!!!!!
RAWR!!!Project Notes
Yarn: Cascade 128-- rustic and sheepy, but still soft enough for a Baby Viking's tender noggin. The horns are Lamb's Pride Worsted.
Pattern: My own! Designing this hat was probably the most fun I've had so far during this project. Eventually I'll write it up...
Techniques: I figured out pretty early on that I would have to use short rows for the horns, which scared me a bit. I've blindly followed pattern instructions for short rows before and had good results, but I'm amazed by how much better I understand the concept after just messing around for a while. After the first couple of botched attempts, something clicked-- the next horn was perfect.
The Bottom Line: This came out almost exactly as I envisioned-- no small victory, if I do say so myself. It also fits perfectly, and looks cuter than I thought possible on its new owner:
He looks ready to pillage a Labor Day picnic, don't you think?
