Swift River Hat
Lion Brand® LB Collection® Baby Alpaca
GAUGE: 29 sts = 4 in. (10 cm) over Color Pattern. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

| Swift River Hat Reviewed by ROBIN SCHOGOL on 2010-10-21 |

Blacks suit me better than browns, so I changed the colors. I love it! I get a ton of compliments, and I will make it for a few family members, too. I opted not to put tassels on.
It took a little practice to get the pattern right, but once I did the hat knitted up quickly, and it's very soft and warm.
