A Finished Hat!

My concern for Keeping Caleb Warm when he's away from home continues.  Never mind that College Station, Texas isn't really known for Arctic temperatures and February of 2021 was a freakish occurrence in Texas history, I'm going to do everything I can to keep him warm.  Fortunately, he likes blankets and is always appreciative of handknits, so he's at least indulgent of my crazy, and who doesn't love a good blanket fort?

So I knit him a Musselburgh hat.  I used Dream in Color Smooshy With Cashmere in Bermuda Teal which is a color that Caleb wears well.  I also figure it will work with his black, gray, and navy jackets and coats. This pattern is a fun one.  You start at the top crown and just start knitting.  Once you have enough stitches to check your gauge you can look at the pattern and get the rest of the directions.  The pattern is written to knit a lining, but you could easily just work a single layer hat as well.  This one is lined since I knit it in fingering weight yarn.

Have a great weekend!
