Pirate Hats

It's cold and icy here in Oklahoma tonight, and I have been working on the We Call Them Pirates Hat.



Some of you may recall that I attempted to make this hat for my husband, but it came out to small and was gifted instead to my nephew. Which is all well and good, but it meant I owed my husband a hat. I joined the KAL for the pattern, and got started again, this time with a carefully measured gauge swatch at my side.



Ta da!
The inside:
The happy recipient:

Particulars:
KnitPicks Merino Style in Coal and Vanilla
Size 7 Addi Turbo
Size 5 KnitPicks needles for lining
Plymouth Wildflowers DK cotton for lining
Started Tuesday, January 9th
Finished Friday January 12th

I love this pattern so much, I decided to make one for me as well. Only this time I started from the lining up to avoid all that fiddly provisional cast-on stuff.
Lining completed:
First chart repeat completed:


Yarn:
KnitPicks Merino Style in Asparagus and Rhubarb

Awesome!
