This hat was made with using it as a motif.
The yarns came out of the box where I keep those balls which though good quality (100% wool, alpacca, or such) but only one ball is around...(I keep buying them...errr rescuing them, I can't just leave them perishing in the store among acrylic leftover, can I?) Now I know why... I just had to dig in that box and came up with three balls in the perrfect colors.Christopher loves the hat, so much, I have a difficult time to get it off his head.
Pattern from here.
