Felicity

https://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/felicity-hat • Posted by Nettie C.

really (I mean really, really) loved Felicity when it came on TV. I had heard about the show and was in need of a new escape. I would watch it and dream about starting college and being on my own. I thought Keri Russell was the bestest and liked that she had a pretty simple style like me, well Felicity did anyway. When I saw Ms. Russell in “The” hat that everyone was talking about I liked it, a lot. I waited for those geniuses over at craftster to figure it out so I could make one. I never would have tried to make it on my own at the time. I sort of forgot about it ’till recently and stalked the craftster archives until I found the old thread, only no one had figured it out. Damn. Now I am more confident to try my hand at things. So over the last week I did. Gauge: 5 sts & 6 rows per inch, in stockinette stitch in the round, on size 5’s Size: Finished hat measures 16 inch, fits my size 22 dome just fine Stuff to know: M1 increase and K2tog
