Here's another project I never posted about... drumroll, please... my first hat!
For my first attempt, I think it came out OK (I really have very little experience crocheting in the round...)
I made it over Thanksgiving. I had an awful migraine for three days straight, but did manage to make this... it worked up surprisingly quickly. I used Caron Simply Soft yarn in Dark Country Blue, and this wonderful pattern.
This was made with my hubby in mind, and he was a good sport and wore it out and about in public! The biggest problem with the hat is that I really made it too long - definitely added too many rounds. It actually looks kind of silly on unless you fold up the bottom about an inch and a half. I should have also used a thicker yarn (even though I love the Simply Soft), or at least doubled up the yarn.
But I do think it's a great "masculine" pattern and I love the texture. Great for a guy gift!
