I saw the Urbanista hat on Ravelry and wanted to give it a try.  I can honestly say it was the most difficult thing I have ever knitted.  I had to restart 4 or 5 times as I couldn’t get the hang of it.

I was reading too much into the pattern instead of just following it.   I thought the 6 pieces had to be done separately and then grafted together at first.  It was only after I finished the first piece that I realised they didn’t.

Once I had done the second piece I found it quite easy to do.

I did mine so that it was stocking stitch on the right side instead of reverse stocking stitch.

I learned a lot from that pattern including wraps and turns and a crochet cast on.

DH loves it and Dylan wants me to make him one too.
