Slytherin Hat

I went into work about an hour late today to make up for extra time I put in the night before, and I spent that extra hour in the midst of a knitting frenzy. About five minutes before I was supposed to be at work, I finished Stephen’s Slytherin hat:

I still need to weave in the ends, but it feels wonderful to be done with this project. The only tricky part in the pattern came on the second decrease round, where you’ll do a K2G but not K1P1 after that. Your last six stitches for that row actually look like:

K2G K2G P2G

which makes sense if you truly grok the pattern, but it’s not explicitly stated that way.

Now I’ve just got to buy more yarn and psyche myself up for the accompany scarf which is nothing but a little over a meter of stockinette knitted in the round. I might take a brief break though to knit myself a hat just like this one but in Wolves colors.

I would just like to add that my cat is convinced that I’m an asshole because his food dish has been empty for hours, and I have yet to drop everything and solve his “problem”.
