… well, almost!

I noticed some Sirdar Denim Chunky in Atlantic Blue at my local hobby store when I was there looking for something else. I needed a hat to go with a new jacket, and I knew that colourway would be perfect, so I bought a ball. I was dithering about which pattern to use when a friend (thanks, D!) reminded me of the Quaker Ribbed Bottom Hat. I had to adapt it slightly for the thicker yarn.

Yes, I know it looks like a tea cosy or a loo roll cover, but it really does look much better when being worn. I couldn’t take a picture of it on my own head, though, and I wanted to get the blog entry done before I forgot, so this one will have to do.
