A quick knit. That's what I needed. I wasn't feeling particularly well a little bit ago and I wanted a project to keep my fingers busy, but I wasn't in the mood to work on any of my current WIPS. The Swirl Hat was the perfect solution.
I've used this pattern before, and I really liked it for its simplicity and uniqueness. The first time that I knitted the Swirl Hat I was very much a beginning knitter. (You can check out that knitting project here!)
The yarn is Lion Brand's Flikka in Wading Pool. It was a clearance find at Hobby Lobby recently. It's a thinner yarn, a 3, I believe. The skien has just under 200 yards, so it's perfect for small projects like a hat. The yarn is soft and I think it will be lovely to wear. My one complaint is that my fingertips did turn a little blue, so the dye isn't quite set. It is supposed to be machine washable, but I haven't tried that yet. I will be sure to wash with a color catcher!
