Hats

I have been watching A LOT of the T.V. show "24" the last few weeks. I have 8 seasons to catch up on, which means I've got my evenings booked for awhile. Knitting is a great companion for T.V.- or movie-watching. Lately I've been working on several hats during my T.V. time. This is a nice pattern that is very stretchy, which means it will fit the recipient for quite awhile. Here's a girl and a boy version. Obviously I opted not to do the stripes according to the pattern. I thought the multi-colored yarns didn't need a stripe since they were pretty on their own.

My youngest son modeling his new hat - it's a little big but could be rolled up if he wanted it completely out of his eyes.

A gift for a friend - I added a knitted rosette (taken from the book "Knitting Little Luxuries" by Louisa Harding) to make it a little more girly.
