I Promised you Hats

Hiya from a.,

So I do believe that I promised you hats.  The first up for your viewing pleasure actually has a name - it is called "Many Moons"  This is me wearing the hat:

This is a bulky weight yarn so the hat is going to be super warm and cozy.  This is actually the "wrong side" of the hat, but I thought it looked cute.  The other reason that I flipped the hat inside out, is the reason it is called "Many Moons"

As you see, the thick pink yarn makes the front loop only half double crochet look like a thousand little butts.  Funny, but not what you want to wear on your head.

The second hat I have to show you is one that I made for r.  I made it a little bigger than I might normally, but since he isn't going for regular hair cuts, I wanted to give him some room inside.
It's good old James Brett marble, and for an acrylic it is really soft and pretty.  Hard to tell in the photo but it does have a brim to add extra warmth to the ears and it matches a scarf that I made r. a couple months ago.

Finally we have a hat that I am rather please with.  This is because I made it with handspun.  Now it was an earlier handspun, so there are some lumps and uneven bits, but I think it came out pretty (and it ended up matching a scarf I made a year or so ago).

Handspun when worked always feels soooo squishy and nifty.
Those are the hats.  I thought I'd leave you with a picture of b.b. as well it is an always enjoyable way to close a post.

That's all.
