Thanks to suzeeq and others, I was able to finish this hat despite accidentally doing k1p2 rib instead of k4p4 like I was supposed to. Why oh why don't I pay attention?! It is modeled by my lovely DH. I really think we need to whitebalance the digital camera, this pic really doesn't do justice to the color. The yarn is really beautiful.

I used Karaoke Mermaids, but last year I had pulled most of the purple out to make the stripe for this sweater, so the hat was mostly turquoise :mrgreen: http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e365/bpiercy/th_KnittingFOs006.jpg (http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e365/bpiercy/KnittingFOs006.jpg)

Very nice! Don't hats go fast...

Looks awesome! How did you pull out the purple from the yarn? :??

Really nice hat. The colors look nice even though they are not true to life. It was nice of DH to show the hat off for you. :-)

A very pretty hat! :cheering: Or should I say handsome, cause your husband is wearing it?? :teehee:

Very nice!

Very pretty hat, and it looks like it will be very warm. I just love the Karaoke colors!

Looks awesome! How did you pull out the purple from the yarn? :??
Lol, I just unwound the skein and every time I came to a purple run, I broke the yarn! I stole the purple from myself :-P

Bip!

I love that. May I have the pattern for it?

I can tell that the yarn is very pretty! Great job!
