I also made myself a hat from Malabrigo worsted. I improvised this hat pattern using part of the cable pattern from the capelet I finished a couple of weeks ago. I'm really happy with how it turned out.

Knitting Fiend
This is my first fitted adult sized clothing item. I modified the "Wrenna" pattern from "French Girl Knits" by shortening the body (yes, it's supposed to be cropped length) and lengthening the cap sleeve. I'm really happy with the fit and fabric texture. It's made with Malabrigo Aquarella - a "thick and thin" yarn that creates interesting variations in the stitch sizes. The super chunky yarn and large needles (size 15) make for quick knitting. I bet it took me less than 10 hours to finish the sweater.
