The Very Warm Ganomy
Nothing like taking 2 brilliant patterns and putting them together. I like to call it the Very Warm Ganomy from Knitter's Almanac and the Opinionated Knitter.
The outside is barely spun Icelandic Lopi, the inside is a double strand of Silky Wool. Knitted on sz. 10 / 6mm needles. Extremely warm hat.
I cast on with the brown, knit one round, purled one round and started the Ganomy shaping. When the brown hat was complete I picked up the cast-on row with pink and knitted another ganomy going the opposite direction.
Ok, so no one really needs a double layer hat in the middle of summer, but it never hurts to be prepared!

What a clever idea, and what a brave little model to put on a very warm hat on a summer day!

This is wonderful! And would be warm enough for even the January Canadian winter! Thanks to the young model. I'd never seen this pattern on a head, and now I know I want to make it! samm

Prepare indeed! Here in New England the cool winds of autumn will be blowing in a few weeks. What a perfect little hat to welcome the cooler weather.
How many stitches did you cast on?

Thank you all!
Anon- I cast on 80 sts as in the Ganomy pattern.
Also- it's really thick so make it big!!!
Ruth- Thank you. I recently lost an aunt to breast cancer. My sons and I did Race for the Cure last fall. My 4 year-old (pictured) describes it as "the big walk to help ladies with sick boobs"
Fight on!!
