15 Free Hat Easy Patterns for adults : Knitting I recently was discussing knitting needles on Facebook, with a friend Rachee. The discussion was why would you need knitting needles that cost $22. I am pro for more expensive needles, they are like butter and well worth the money. The discussion was about the Addi Turbos found you can find them here using my Amazon Affiliate link for Addi Turbo Knitting Needles,

Our discussion inspired me to knit. I was planning to spend the next few days watching my kids at the pool. It was the championships and if you ever been to a winter swim meet space is limited but you sit for hours for you kids to swim less than 5 minutes. I sat a total of 12 hours on the bleachers in 3 days. So I had time, to kill. I had one skein of yarn i picked up in Lancaster and the Bird In hand Knitting shop.

I made the hat show above using Size 9 Addi Turbos circular needles, 9 dbl points with Cascade superwash. I followed the size Med directions. I added extra rows, 2 in body and 3 at the decrease to give the more slouch look. I also crochet a flower. Which I am still deciding if I like the flower. It took me about 3-4 hours total.
