Sloochie
Pattern: Sloochie by Woolly Wormhead
Yarn: Wensleydale Longwool Sheep Shop Aran
Yardage: 153 (around 88g of 100g)
Needles: 4.5mm DPNs and 16" circ.
Knit as part of the July Vertical KAL in the Wormhead's Hats group on Ravelry. I made the largest size with no real mods (body ended up a little longer) and it fits very well. I love the pixie style. This was the first time I'd knit a top-down hat, and for once I did OK with DPNs, changing over to a circ at around 90 stitches. The Wensleydale is lovely wool, quite "heavy" in its own way but it makes a good fabric. I may knit this hat again in a "loftier" wool.
As promised here are a few photos of the animals at Woolfest.
Just been shorn!
These two young 'uns were having a head-butting contest with the black sheep next door!
Gorgeous alpacas - they look like they are knitted when they've been shorn

That is a cute hat - and sadly not so unsuitable for this July!
Ooooh, love your hat! The pixie style is great :)
Lovely hat and a great colour!
