updated hat all done




I ripped out the white on black hat & reknitted it to become the black on white hat. tomorrow it will be on it's way to my SIL in Florida. I already warned her that it might be a bit too big so maybe she'll have to wear ear muffs underneath!! ha ha ha!!!
Donna, I hope you like it.

I think the ribbing could have been longer, at least 3 inches, but I followed the pattern specifying 1 inch which was a mistake. next time I'll make it longer. I think I love the inside almost as much as the outside...it has it's own pattern going on! here are a few pics, hopefully showing all the details, modeled by my dear sweet Hester.

Love your hat even if the first pic looks like someone is going to rob a bank . . . I know you said the pattern was easy but you could never tell. It's beautiful. Hope you will send the pattern to me after we reveal ourselves!
P.S. . . Florida? They wear these hats in Florida?
