Homegrown hat

This hat is made from homegrown, home sheared, carded, spun and knitted wool. So exciting!
The finished hat


Dagmar who provided the white wool

Raasay who provided the black wool



The following information is mostly for me.
I used 5mm magic loop needles
Cast on 88 stitched. I calculated by knitting a bit to get an idea of stitches to 10cm then measuring circumference of my head and taking of 4cm.
Length from brim to top is 20cm
The thin lines are 2 rows and the wider one 6 rows. The final row and casting off was in brown (three needle cast off).
The brown round the rim I sewed on with blanket stitch.
