I finished a quick hat for a late Christmas gift last week. We spent a lovely weekend with dear friends to celebrate birthdays & the relative peace & quiet of the post-holiday season. The hat is another pattern from Zoe Mellor. Charlie served as my model, somewhat begrudgingly, but I figure it's the first of many duties he begrudgingly assists mommy with over the course of his lifetime. The actual pattern in the book is a beautiful and very colorful fair isle knit, but time (and perhaps my skill!) didn't permit me attempting such an intricate project. I opted, instead, to go with a soothing, soft cream-colored wool for a clean & simple, yet still fun, end result.
