Utopia Cable Hat

I knitted the Utopia Cable Hat witht Beginner's Knit Along group on Ravelry. This is KAL for November 2015. I used size US 8 16" circular needles. The yarn is Lion Brand's Vanna's Choice, which is worsted weight acrylic yarn. the color is Colonial Blue. This is some of the yarn I purchased at the Legacy in Sebastopol. 

I love knitting cables, they are so easy and fun to do. I really want to explore more with cables. I want to learn Celtic Cables. This is the first time I cabled in the round.

Scopes Hat

This is the Scopes Hat a free pattern on Ravelry. I knitted this with the Beginners Knit Along group on Ravelry. I used US6 32" circular needles and Nashua Handknits Creative Focus Superwash yarn. It is a wool. The colorway is plum. This hat is real slouchy.

The main stitches used are Knit, Purl, Yarnover, Knit 2together, SSK (slip two and knit} and K tbl (knit through the backloop).
I also learned to knit from a chart, which uses symbols.
