J’s Tychus

 

J's Tychus hatI started this as a travel project–something to do during our journey eastward to visit family over the holidays in 2007. I’d seen the pattern on Knitty and thought it I’d make a fun hat for my nephew, so I picked the black and army green as colors he might like.

This pattern is fun to knit. It’s simple enough that you can knit while distracted or in social situations, but keeps your attention with all the short-rows. And because it’s knitted in segments, you psychologically feel a little sense of closure after each one.

It’s a quick knit, too–great if you need a little something for a last-minute gift. Although my time for completion seems long, this is largely because there were big spans of time in-between my knitting sessions. I’m kind of a pokey knitter, but I think I could probably complete this in a few days.

J's Tychus hatThe hat is a little pointy at the top, but it is less noticeable when being worn and I’m pleased with the way it turned out. I’ve now looked at other examples of the hat on Ravelry and find I like the more subtle color combinations (the original pattern on Knitty features a very high contrast combos).
