I finished my custom Grateful Dead-SF Giants slouchy hat! I was motivated to get it to the customer ASAP so I didn’t even think about good photos when I finished it! Ooops…so no FO Friday fanfare this week. Just a quick nod to finishing on Tuesday!
I start with a plain black hat and then duplicate stitch the Steal Your Face onto it!
Like much of my knitting, it was done late at night…so these are the only photos I’ve got!
Luckily, it looked much better in the light of day! Another satisfied customer! Woot!
Now for a little shameless self-promotion:

There’s even a couple patterns for the knitters in the group!

Do you prefer duplicate stitch to intarsia? Just wondering b/c I always do the intarsia method because I can never get duplicate to look right. Yours is lovely!

Thanks! I like duplicate stitch here because the sections of color are mostly tiny and I don’t like hats with seams. If it were a flat piece, I might have considered intarsia or if the blocks of color were larger. I’ve done a lot of duplicate stitch, it reminds me of all the hours I spent cross stitching :)
