Our Opinion
I knitted straps to add to an existing hat for an elderly lady who wanted to be able to tie the hat to her head as the wind kept blowing it off. Alba knitted super fast and quick, with great stitch definition. I used a freestyle pattern to make the straps more interesting and finished the straps off with a long length of i-cord.
Test Project
No pattern - this was freestyle!
