Knitted the same hat, same yarns, for Debbi again for her birthday.

Hat 1:

3/3/2014: Debbi has told me that she doesn’t have this hat anymore. Her daugher got the job in NYC and didn’t give this back so I will be knitting another one again.

12/10: Xmas 2013 #6 gift. Knitted this for Debbi. She has a very large head, 23” to be exact. I CO88, instead of CO80. Followed the pattern exactly after that.

Blocked: 11.5” (w) x 12” (h). It fits her large head perfectly, wasn’t tight or loose. And not her favorite color -- blue.

Debbi has 2 creative daughters who just only wear black and have lots of tats and a few piercings. Her youngest daughter, a 25 yr old hipster, wanted the hat and took it to NY to wear. So I considered this as a compliment since the hat is caramel with stripes of hot pink and brown.

Talk about gamut! If you are looking to knit for either a creative 25 yr old with a nose ring and lots of tats or a late 50 yr old insurance claims manager, this is the hat for you!

Very quick knit and definitely would knit this again.
