If you have read my post 'A Journey for a New Design', you would know that this hat and I have history.This hat stubbornly refused to be finished!The pattern itself took me forever to get the stitches just how I wanted them, to get that effect of two colours. Frogging, frogging and more frogging!Throw in some swearing!Running out of Yarn! And one hat in the naughty corner, via air express!Well I am very pleased to report that I won!The hat is completed and now out to testing with my fabulous and long suffering testers!At times I do wish I had been better at math in school than I am. Calculating stitches for different sizes tends to give me a headache. But I got there in the end (Well I believe I have. I will have to wait on the reports from my testers to see if I am right). The hat will be available in Child, Teen and Adult sizing.I also think (coincidently) that this is rather a well timed hat. I used Bendigo Woollen Mills Luxury 10ply/Aran. One of the colours is Pumpkin Spice. Just in time for Halloween!I rather like this yarn as it is just as its name describes 'Luxury'.So to the 'Pumpkin Spice' Hat, I say 'You thought you would get the better of me, but I won!'I also have to say that if you don't own a pom pom maker, put one on your Christmas list as these things make Pom Pom making a breeze. One of these days I may do a 'how to' on using them.Keep an eye out for the pattern coming very soon, to a ravelry, etsy, Love Crochet store near you!I won!
