Happy New Year

My intention to refrain from knitting any Christmas presents didn't last until Christmas. I decided to knit one thing. I knit a warm hat for my dad. I don't remember seeing him wear hats. That doesn't mean that he doesn't wear them. I just don't remember seeing him wear them. This winter has so far proven to be pretty snowy, blowy and cold!




This is the hat....and the hat modelled by DH and bella Bella.It was quick and it serves it's purpose.


I had lots of this yarn left over, so I made another hat in the burgandy with gray stripes. I still have plenty left over. When Dad received the hat, I couldn't convince him that it was a beanie and was not supposed to be worn like a watch cap. He flipped up the bottom and had a few more comments about the way he was wearing the hat.

Here is the other hat. It turned out a little bigger than I had hoped. I even used a needle 2 sizes smaller. It is pretty warm though.
