A Man and His Hat
Live your life, do your work, then take your hat.
-Henry David Thoreau
Since we're all so excited about the impending return home of my favorite model of handknits (and do wish him a good drive cross-country, won't you), I thought today would be a lovely day to show off his new hat. Well, new as of February, anyway.
Norwegian Star HatYarn: Cascade 220 in the green and Paton's Classic Merino in the natural. You will note that the colors are the inverse of the mittens here.
Needles: US 7 or 8, which turned out to be a little largeNotes: Love this book, love this pattern, don't love that somehow my knitting has loosened up over the years. This grew like crazy in the wash, so much so that I needed to do a little intentional fulling.

Well, drive safely, Mr. Knit Model, and we'll be looking forward to the sweater reveal :)
(The hat is really sweet too, but I'm totally distracted by the sweater.)
Your colorwork is just amazing!
I think you guys need to move to a cooler climate so you can wear all these beautiful woolens more frequently!
Your Dale sweater turned out gorgeous and I am looking forward to your sweetie modeling it for us.
I have the HATS ON book and have yet to knit anything out of it. This looks like it would be a great hat for my husband - I'm inspired!
BTW..I moved back to Blogger :-)
I really love Hats On! too. This is a great hat, and how pleased is your model to be wearing it?! Very.
Loose or not it looks like it covers his ears nicely, which is critical in a hat. He also looks abolutely thrilled with it, which is the most important thing. :)
Safe roads for your hubby! Our end of the cross country is much nicer weather.
The hat is cute!
I have that book and have every intention of trying out color work with one of the patterns. I'm putting a check mark by this one, because yours turned out so nice.
