Don’t you wanna?
Let’s just go ahead and mark down the panta as another accessory that is Good in Theory. I decided last night to make Amie Hirtes’s Honey Panta, because I thought I could use something warm for my head that was not yet another hat. It looks cute on the pattern page, too (although the fact that no one is wearing it is a bit telling).
I don’t blame the pattern…I could tell right off the bat that I wasn’t getting gauge. Not because I measured, of course, but because the middle section alone fit easily around my head. (You’re supposed to add some Tunisian tabs in the back.) Since I was kind of going for quick, simple, and finished, I decided to just go with it and eliminate the tabs.
I used buttons instead of velcro, for a host of reasons that should be obvious, simply chaining some button loops at the end. It was satisfyingly quick and complete. And it’s not awful, or anything, just not the most ragingly stylish thing I’ve ever made. I’m probably even wear it a few times. They say it snows here, you know. 😉
Just got in from Canadian Thanksgiving
So yeah cold weather is just around the corner. Well the panta looks warm, and comforting, and practical. In other words nice honey. I like your perspective shot at the top, it reminds me of Brad’s from his mission.
I love the yarn you used. Looks so warm. Cute buttons.
