A Hat Fell Off My Needles This Weekend

Passerine hat

So this happened. When this pattern was first released (Passerine Hat), I thought it was beautiful. I also noticed that it would use small amounts of fingering weight yarn. I happened to have leftovers of fingering weight yarn (funny how that happens), so I put a note with these leftovers so I could remember what I wanted to use them for. This past weekend I was looking for something small to work on while my Eyre pullover blocked and when I needed a break from brioche. This hat was the perfect little palate cleanser!

I cast on Saturday afternoon and finished up Sunday evening. I blocked it yesterday and I just love it. The yarn is Malabrigo Mechita in Natural and English Rose, leftover from a striped pullover I made a while back (2015?). This yarn is super soft and I love all the colors of pinks in the English Rose. It makes such pretty birds.
