FO: Machu Picchu Earflap-less Hat
My DH likes hats that have a 'native' look. Merigold's husband is really great at designing his own "cultural" hats, but alas, I'm not that inventive. I found a pattern on Ravelry called the Machu Picchu Earflap Hat. My husband loves the two color design work, but not the flaps, so I left them out. Earflaps are a young thing, my DH is not.

The pattern uses bulky yarn, so this project took one day.
Elann's Peruvian Highland Bulky: not quite two skeins of Coffee Brown and not quite one skein of the Indian Red. Each skein has 54 yards. The yarn is quite nice, and I would use it again.
It is surprisingly soft, and not dry feeling.

Stranding bulky yarn makes the hat real thick in those areas, but he likes a fat hat. He had a brown & tan bulky weight hat for years and years, don't know where he got hold of it. It finally gave out due to moth holes. I think it got moths cuz of where he stashed his precious hat. (not in the house) I think with his hunter stuff in the garage or the hunting bunk house. I dunno. I darned it a couple times, and that was that. I don't know where he has it now!


The red "took" to the camera a little "off". It is more of an Indian Red.

Yes, the pattern called for "in the round"...which is nice for 'fair isle' knitting, or, stranded knitting. I dunno what it's called exactly, one or the other! The right side is always 'facing'. No WS purling.

Heck no, it's easier in the round! It's intarsia that you need to do flat.
