one double and two single hats
First, the double, which was started here:
It’s the double knit hat, made with Cascade 220. Even with no hair, my sweetie’s head is a good 24″, which is considered “extra large” according to most patterns. He must be extra smart. But it’s no wonder I could never make a hat big enough for him when he had hair. He says to tell you, Beth, that this hat is “soft and wearable. ”
The next two hats, intended to be Christmas presents, will look like this, one blue and one red:
They are Beatrice Hats (named for the yarn evidently) designed by Annie Modesitt, found in the Classic Elite Tweed Three pattern book. I ordered the yarn and book to make hats for last Christmas, but somehow never got to it. And what did I do, in spite of reading the pattern? I only purchased 2 balls of yarn per hat, rather than the 3 called for. So, more has been ordered and is on the way, but these are on hold until the fedex man shows up at our door.
I’ll have to have you show me your “soft and wearable” tricks! Did he also say “This is just the kind of hat I love!”?

No, I’ll have to teach him that next. He did say he would alternate it with his heavy-duty LLBean woodsman cap. That’s pretty high praise.
