If I'm not mistaken, the stocking hats started with this thread: http://www.knittinghelp.com/forum/sh...t=stocking+hat

They are fun to make; however, I didn't do all the rounds between decreases per the pattern. I just picked a number and stuck with it throughout. I had just enough yarn, too, so I guess you could say it was a stash buster project.

Thanks! I can only take credit for picking out the yarn, not combining the colors. I got it at Hobby Lobby (it's this one), but it's not very tightly woven, so although soft, it probably won't last long. However, until it fuzzes up beyond what I can stand, I will enjoy wearing it.

I love the watercolor-y effects of this yarn. The colors wash gently into each other. No harsh striping. No gloppy pools.

Your choice of color was so feminine and gentle. Love love!
