2011-10-17: got a picture of the recipient wearing the hat! he looks adorable!

2011-04-13: love that the self striping worked so well! beautiful little hat.

2011-04-10: pretty much done, just need to finish the icords (which i’m being lazy about)

Since I’m using smaller needles than called for, I am following the 2nd size of the pattern. at first, i thought there were going to be too many stitches but as soon as I started the pattern rows, it became obvious that it would be perfect!

Not sure if this yarn will stripe nicely (since it is made for socks) or not so I’ll just have to try and see…
