One of my favorite little luxuries are Friday night margaritas. After a long day at work, it is nice to kick up my feet and enjoy a drink, and a perhaps a bit of knitting. Keeping a bottle of Patron in the liquor cabinet and a small project on the knitting needles is always a must in this house.
Written in two adult sizes, this slouchy cabled hat takes advantage of those single skeins of worsted weight yarn we all seem to have around. Adding the pom pom to the top takes care of any left overs, and leaves you with one less skein in the stash, and one more warm hat for cold ears.
Fix yourself a margarita (or two if you are feeling adventurous), get those feet up, and cast on for a Patron Margaritas hat.

The Life’s Little Luxuries Collection is a series of designs that celebrate the little things in life that bring a smile to our face. Named for these little things, each design uses just one or two skeins of a special hand-dyed yarn, making them perfect quick projects for using a treasured skein. The designs will be released periodically, usually with two or three patterns being released at a time. They are priced at just $5.00 each, and will always be sold with a Buy 2, Get 1 Free promotion. No strings attached, no coupon codes, just put three patterns in your cart, and one will be free. Afterall, it is the little things in life that make it special.

You can purchase the patterns as single pattern downloads, or as the e-book. At this point, the e-book is priced at $15 (to reflect getting 3 patterns and one free), and includes the four patterns currently available in this collection. It will remain priced at $15 until new designs are added to the collection, at which point the price will rise to a maximum of $25. Those who purchase the e-book at $15 will receive all future patterns added to the collection without any additional cost, making this a great savings over time.
