Clever hat title goes here.

[corrvin]

So, I knitted this for a friend, and it's going out in the mail Monday. In a contrast to my usual organizational skills, I managed to remember to take the pictures, in the daytime, BEFORE putting the hat in the envelope.

Note to future self: a single hat fits very well in a 9" by 12" envelope for mailing, as long as it's not a 10" wide beret.

Pattern: None, really. Knitted top-down and increased 16 stitches every 3rd round.
Needle size: 5
Yarn: Jojoland Melody (the tan/brown color)
Twice Tweed (the cream color, does not stretch, like knitting with Sugar-N-Cream, but wool)
The purple and green/brown stripes are some Kool-Aid dyed Lion Fisherman's Wool.

I have about 3 other things on the needles, and maybe if it gets down below 100 this week I will have the motivation to knit on them.

This is very well done! Just out of curiosity, how hard are hats to make? I've been making scarves lately, so I was wondering the difficulty curve for hats.

I like the way you chose these colors. This way the "front view" when the hat is on someone's head is mostly normal, but there's a lot of interest on the top. You did a nice job with the stripes too.

You're getting better with the pictures!

This is gorgeous! I would be sad that it's too early in the year to use it yet... :)
