I love this hat.I knitted it in a night but didn't get to sew it up before we went camping at O'Allen Ford. It was cold there and I needed my hat and forgot to take a sewing needle away. Wayne came up with the perfect solution. He broke a fishing line hook up and it did the job fine-well look I am wearing it!!!! It was the easiest hat to knit ever and so different. I have made a blue one and hope to make more.
