I love hats. There’s just something about a hat that can change a whole outfit – or hide a bad hair day!! Plus they work up pretty quickly, especially when you use a super bulky yarn like I did with this Lion Brand Wool-Ease Thick & Quick. I was working on a ton of new hat projects and needed a quick gift so I created this one. You could even make the Thick & Quick Scarf to match. 🙂
I love the way this turned out. My favorite color (any shade of turquoise/teal) and one of my favorite yarns! I don’t usually make a gathered top for a hat but this one called for it. I’m glad I did because I like the way it feels and looks when I have it on. I didn’t end up giving this one away so I am going to be wearing it myself if it ever gets cold here again. (It’s been in the 60’s for a couple of weeks and no really cold days in the near future!) My hats and scarves are feeling pretty neglected…
