Finally done! I wouldn't have made it except that a friend requested it. "I don't have a brown hat" she says. Okay.
I loved making it. Thanks to this site for the video on Magic Loop, I learned something new and had an excuse to add a couple of sizes to my KP Options set. I much prefer doing Magic Loop to using DPNs. While I have tried DPNs and have to admit my work looks better when I use them, I'd rather limit the number of tools I buy and just learn how to be better at this. Besides, I liked not having to worry about losing a needle! Huge plus!
I used Berrocco Pleasure which I got on sale from Yarn.com. It's mostly angora...yummy! It's also braided or looks like a miniature I-cord so I rarely split the yarn while I was working with it.
