Eat, Sleep, Knit has an ongoing hat making flash knit along. They call it the Mad Hatter Holiday Dash Flash Knit Along. The four Yarnathon teams are pitted against each other. The team who produces the most hats before the end of November will earn 20 very much sought after stars.
I’ve just been reunited with my yarn stash so I’m frantically trying to make hats. My first hats are being made from leftover skeins of Malabrigo Worsted. I’d like to get one hat made each day . . the 20th through the 30th, but in reality, I’ll be doing good if I get 5 hats made. If I had taken more ESK yarn with me on the trip, I could have knitted a dozen hats. We can use any yarn we want but we have to use at least 90 yards per hat. My goal is to use the leftover Malabrigo Worsted, then find more worsted that I can use to make hats that go quickly.
Here’s the first one . . started and finished yesterday.
Hat #1
Yarn: Malabrigo Worsted Merino
Color: Very Pink
Pattern: Troll Hat
It’s definitely a quick knit. I think Addie will love it since she’s crazy about trolls these days.

Love your troll hat. I just finished one over the weekend in a bit heavier yarn. (and didn’t I tell you not to make any hats – my team needs the stars not yours) 🙂
