It is pretty, it looks fabulous on Abigail (even though it is mine), and it’s quite comfortable, which I wasn’t really expecting. Not that I though it would be uncomfortable, I just hadn’t anticipated not wanting to take it off.
So, without further ado….

and finally,

A big “thank you” to Dennis for the fab pictures, and to my husband for the commentary, making the above laugh possible.

What a fun hat. The brim is subtle, but I still like it. I really like how the stitch pattern makes the edge of the brim a little wavy. It adequately performs its function, which is to shield my eyes from the sun, while still being feminine and cute. I wish I would have pulled it down a little in the pictures, it looks better that way.

I took sketchy notes on what I did, and I’d be happy to share if anyone is interested. Considering that I haven’t read the pattern past the brim, and severely changed even that, I don’t feel bad. I would recommend purchasing the pattern anyway, considering I am no pattern writer, and using a legitimate pattern might help you improve what I did for yourself. Besides, I would guess that if you are using a different yarn than I am, you will need to use her numbers, or closer to them.

Please stop by the comments and tell me what you think! Also, let me know if there is a cotton yarn that would be good to try on a second hat. I’d like to make another, but not with Cotton Classic.
