ADDICTED TO HATS!

HATS, HATS, HATS.... I'm not sure what it is with hats but I get addicted to them. I find a pattern that I like then I have to make 4 or 5 of them in different color combinations. I like this one a lot! If you need to practice short rows, this is the hat for you. You can finish it in one evening! I used size 11 straight needles. The white hat is made with Brown Sheep Bulky and the blue and grey one is made with Cascade 220 Superwash held double and 1 strand of Crystal Palace Kid Merino to give it a kinda tweedy look. The link to the pattern is below. You will be doing this hat in 8 wedges. As you can tell from my finished hats I only did 7 wedges because I have a small head!

I love this hat also. It is a chunky cabley (is that a word.....spell check says NO) hat. It's kinda saggy in the back bottom. We love it! and it was fun and easy. Good first cable project. This pattern will be attached to your email.
Last week I posted this little sweater only part way finished. Bonnie finished it and its adorable! She used Mission Falls Superwash.
