Look, an actual real live finished hat! There’s a bottom part and a middle part and a top part. It fits on human heads. It does not squeeze them nor slide off. It covers that ‘top of head’ through ‘top of ears’ region and does not wander over and impede the eyes or attack the neck. It is, more or less, a successful and functional hat.
Also note how dramatically the color changed between the partial picture and this one. It’s not just different light/camera settings. This yarn (Malabrigo Twist in color Indiecita) just seems to do this. It happened with the mitts too. It’s a bit of a mystery really, as there was absolutely no dye in the rinse water. The color just came out more muted after a soak (cold water, no soap). Luckily I like the muted version better, but I’m still puzzled.

LOVE! Like your sock patterns, this has such a nice geometry to the stitch pattern as well as the overall item – gorgeous! Any chance you’ll share the pattern?

I can’t believe this is your first hat…it’s geometry is simply stunning!
I know what you mean about the Malabrigo Indiecita…I just used the Rasta in that colourway to knit a pair of mittens, and the colour is gorgeous!
Can’t wait to see the pattern for this hat!
