Silk Garden Bucket

Back before Christmas, I got a very nice e-mail from Roi with a picture of a bucket-style hat she had knit as a modification of my Silk Garden hat.

With her permission, I'll share the the picture and message with you. [Click for a bigger view].

She says, "I’ve knit two – first with just adding one pattern of row repeats so the hat would come down further over my ears and the second with casting on 11 more stitches as I look better in a bucket type hat."

Isn't is cute? It's knit from Noro Silk Garden #47 and she said she did have to do a little "engineering" to get the gold band to fall at the beginning and the end of the lace section--a nice detail.

I just may have to get some more Silk Garden and try out this version for myself.

Thanks for sharing, Roi, and I'm honored that you used my hat as a jumping off point. Great job!
