Cutting this a bit fine, in terms of getting it done pre Xmas, but I thought Mum could do with another hat. A girl can never have too many hats or shoes :-)

The colour is best represented in pics 1 n 2.

I knit this in Sport weight, the size was fine width wise, but I think I would add more rows next time at the rim and the possibly continue the pattern to do 3 full repeats to get a bit more slouch its very close fitting on my head, my mum has a smaller head so will be fine for her.
