Love this hat!

so i made a hat for my boss. she never wears a hat on her head and its getting pretty cold around here! just today the temp is 2, wind chill -17! so i decided to use the lions brand wool ease chunky. i kind of made up the pattern as i went along. i actually got about halfway done and frogged it and started over again. i love the way this hat came out!!! i can't really remember the pattern too well, so i'm gonna try to write the pattern down now on my ravelry page before i forget it! i made it on the green loom. it ended up being just a tad bit too small for her, she squeezed it on her head and said it was okay, but i know it would be uncomfortable to wear for a long amount of time.





here's a close up of the ribbing i did on the brim. i used a cable cast on for the first time for this. i really like the way it turned out!



i haven't thought of a name for this hat yet. it kinda looks like a balloon to me, so i might go with something like that for the name. i wish i was more experienced with the wedge way of finishing a hat. i did a gathered bind off cause thats the way i'm most familiar with, but i think it would have looked much better with a smoother wedge top. nothing would have aggrivated me more than to try something differnt and ruin the hat at the last stages, especially when its a present for someone else and i'm on a time line. maybe i'll try this again for fun and try doing the wedges instead next time.
