This is the second time I attempt this hat pattern. It was supposed to have been a test pattern. The first time I made the hat I ended up not following the pattern as instructed but sort of let my hand flow with the rhythm of the stitches. The second attempt I had to force myself to stay within pattern. The results were lovely.Take a look at the crown of the hat, its absolutely beautiful--if I should say so myself.
I used Lang's Silkdream (combination of wool and silk) in two colors, black and aqua, using US#6 circular needle.

Hi-I think your blog is smart and good for you for explaining about larger pics and leaving comments. You made me realise I could do with such instructions on my blog. Thanks.
Hey, this is great. Not only the hat, but the organization - gives me some ideas for my blog. And, I love the Brooklyn Bridge pix at the end. I just bought a print of Georgia O'Keeffe's painting of the bridge, and I didn't realize that the arches were really there. I thought she superimposed them. Wow! Thanks.
I wanted to say that for someone who has only been knitting for a short time (and I saw your "update" post on Knitting Novices), that you do really beautiful work.
I learned to knit about 4 years ago (been crocheting for forty) and you seem to have caught on VERY quickly! What's more... your blog is wonderful in general -- I may "borrow some ideas for mine!!

I love the crown of the hat. If the pattern becomes available for those of us in the cyberworld, please let us know. I would love to make it. I found your blog through socknitters yahoo group and I will return to see what else you are making.
