The Perfect Hat

My friend asked me to knit up a hat for her sister. She wanted it to be chunky and thick, slightly slouchy, and long enough to cover her ears. I have been experimenting with Lion Bran Wool Ease, and made a few hats in order to get the right look and feel. I finally came up with this - what I consider to be the Perfect Hat! It uses one ball of yarn and knits up very quickly. I just love the colour, and I hope the recipient will love it too.

Once I figure out the proper name of the cable stitch, I will write up the pattern. I need to make one for my husband too, to make sure my scribbled notes are correct. Stay tuned for the pattern :)
