Since I had half of the yarn left from the mittens, I decided to make the matching hat. I had one yard left. ONE YARD! OMG! Was I ever lucky. I put that one yard in a tiny plastic bag. Now. Where did I put it? Does the hat look too big? It’s not. It’s just that my glass head is about an inch and a half smaller than my real head. It has to be, with all the crap it’s got in there. So anyway. I really like this hat! It fits well and even better, looks good on my head! The construction was a lot of fun. The cable brim is knit in a strip, then sewn into a circle. Stitches are picked up along the upper edge and knit in the round. The pattern also comes with a matching scarf. You can buy it from Beth Brown-Reinsel at http://www.knittingtraditions.com.
