I had some fun moving my bathroom mirrors around today to get a picture of Graham from different angles. The bathroom is the brightest and whitest room in my house, so it seemed like the perfect place for some slouchy hat selfies. I’m pretty fond of this hat already. I downsized the brim by 4 stitches for a more snug fit. I knit until the hat was 9 inches before I did decreases, and then I did them as written. The yarn is Manos del Uruguay Maxima in Highlighter. I love it. This feels like a hat I could keep on my head nonstop. It’s comfortable. It stays in place. It will be easy to locate. Enough said. Go make one.

- Early Christmas | knit the hell out - […] and knitting for 7.5″ before making decreases. I added about an extra 1.5″ of slouch to the one I…

I love it! That color is awesome. I made a couple of Graham’s last year as holiday gifts and they were a big hit. Hope you get lots of use out of yours!
Love the colour! In the winter you need something bright! 🙂
looks utterly fantastic!! love the highlighter colourway, and this hat looks so perfect- nice texture, nothing fancy, totally classic.
Awesome colour!
I love the hat. That is exactly the style I’ve been wanting to make. Great color too!
Well, a challenge can’t be ignored and it looks so soft and so much fun – so I just went and ordered some of the yarn in the shocking (pink) colourway despite umpteen knitmas projects on the needles…. The only addition will be a couple of rows with added hatnut safe reflect thread (winter visibility for a small person).
Great hat! I’ve made a Graham and it really is a fantastic pattern. Now I need to make one in a bright color…though maybe not quite *this* bright!
I’m loving that hat!!!!! Such a perfect pop of neon.
This is so cute! And I love that it’s in worsted yarn. I’ve been working on so many projects in sock yarn lately that worsted would be a very welcome change 😍 And I think I have a skein of Manos worsted somewhere in my stash…
Super cute! Good thing I’m not a homeowner, your cute little white bathroom is making me want to tear out all beigey tiles and counters in mine….
Perfect, I’ve just had a request for a hat for my daughter’s boyfriend and this will fit the bill nicely so thank you for the link to the free pattern. That highlighter colour is amazing! Great for winter visibility too.
I love this pop of neon!
Well… pretty sure I need this exact same hat! 🙂
