Circle & Square

Before we properly start into 2025, I want to share with you one last finish from 2024. A good friend gave me a Schoppel Zauberball Crazy for Christmas, which is a very pretty, very colourful sock yarn, and I was looking for a good pattern for it. The colours were too pretty to just make socks from them, so I looked at beanies that would look good in crazy colours, and I came across the Circle & Square by Martina Behm/Strickmich. I mostly knit on this while we were visiting Felix' family and friends over the holiday, and actually had a finish by the time we got home on the 29th!


This has since become my new favourite hat. the colours are so nice and bright and perfect for the current sad gray outside, and the clever construction makes this not only pretty but also extremly comfy to wear (the fabric is laid double over the forhead and ears, and single layer in the back for that perfect slouch). I already have at least two more to make for Felix and his best friend who also loved the fit of this, and I think I want another one for myself as well, maybe somethign less crazy coloured. But it's a quick knit and a great use for some especially pretty sock yarn, so I don't mind making more of these!
