I came across a great pattern by Staci Perry akaVery Pink. She graciously made this pattern available for free on Ravelry. She writes very clear patterns that are easy to follow.
I hadn't knit in a while so I was excited to knit this up. Unfortunately, I didn't use a very cute yarn, but that did not deter me from knitting this up. I also used a worsted weight yarn with size 5 needles which was something I had never done before. I normally use a size 9 needle with worsted weight yarn.
I like doing the provisional cast on as I am a competent crocheter so I am comfortable holding a crochet hook.
I also decided to intentionally twist my stitches for the ribbed cuff. I like the way twisted stitches can make ribbed rows pop. Since I used a dark yarn, any little bit helps.
I really enjoyed knitting this hat. I made it in about five or six hours and topped it off with a pompom that I made myself.
