It was relatively simple - knitted flat (none of that fancy-schmancy "in the round" or "circular" business for me...) on size 6 needles
.
I used a free pattern from Lion Brand and their Cotton-Ease
yarn in Taupe
for the main color (MC) and Lake
for the contrasting color (CC). I think it turned out pretty rad! I'm still shocked I didn't end up with a big, tangled mess of yarn on my head (A Big Ol' Monkey Mess, as I like to call my big, tangled messes.)The Boyfriend was equally shocked and we spent a few days exclaiming randomly, "It's a HAT!"
Then he put it on.
I have not worn my hat since.
Ah well. I'm working on #2. I think I will add cat ears to it. Or maybe cute, little round ears in bear/monkey style. The Boyfriend is not likely to steal that...
