Finished: Urchin
27 October, 2008
Or: Paperhouse goes to see the tiniest lift in London. I think it was a converted dumb waiter or something.
Pattern: Urchin by Ysolda (on Ravelry).
Yarn: Rowan, Rowanspun Chunky.
Needles: Pony straights, 7.5mm.
I made this last year, but felt unsure about it for some reason or other and tucked it into my accessories drawer – I turned it out again by accident while rummaging for things to use in a Yarn Forward photoshoot and decided I really liked it. Making it was a breeze, and the simplicity was spiked with excitement by the sideways structure. Best of all, the hat has a structured shape, similar to a felt beret, and with my little military jacket I look like quite the little resistence fighter.

I like that hat and the picture is great!
great photo!
Looks like lack of oxygen in the lift got to you! Love that pattern but am still trying to decide whether I really believe that the Verity beret I made suits me and therefore whether I should make any more berets!
For you to feel a lift is tiny it really must be very tiny- you’re so small! And I would like a beret too. You are now the pround (distant) owner of a black A-line skirt. Be impressed, and ignor the imperfections- it is unique!
