I knitted this hat recently- it is a more successful version of this attempt (my knitting skill/patience is limited these days!) It was useful on the ferry trip we took last week and will no doubt be well worn this winter. The pattern is one I'd meaning to try for ages- Beatrice Hat by Hadley (scroll down a bit and the free pattern link is in the right sidebar.) Hadley's hat has knitted leaves to decorate it, and while I love that idea, I ran out of time before going away so I finished the hat without them.
The yarn is Jo Sharp Alpaca Kid Lustre (thanks Mum) in 'Cork' colourway and some grey handspun for the stripe and pompom.
Now I've finished this little knit I feel like doing much more! Watching TV/films is much better with needles in hand, at this time of the year, anyway. I have my eye on these, these and this sea-blue blanket.
