Hat Distraction!

 I needed a hat for my Seattle son-winter temperatures have hit hard there 
and since he works outside, he needed some insulation!  
 It is knit from an old ball of Universal Yarn Inc, Classic Shades which is a single ply worsted weight yarn.   I knit over 100 stitches in K2, P2 on #8 needles.  It worked right along.
I decreased out the purl stitches first and then reduced the knit for a nice smooth and round crown.
I will send it out in their Christmas box today!  

Now I am ready to work on my sweater again -I am so close to a finish on that!
And I found what I was doing wrong on the mitts-I am in the knitting groove again!

  6. That hat will look great on his big ole head — it will make the green of his eyes really stand out! Don’t you wish you could hand it to him yourself and give him a big hug? — I am really missing him!
