Here is a hat that I made for my hubby:
He announced in Webs a couple of weekends ago that he wanted me to make him a hat with three colors, gray, black and red to match his snowmobile. I told him that I need to find a pattern first and I wanted to wait for a sale on yarn instead of buying it at Web's for $4.99 a skein. These were on sale 2 for $5 at Michael's!
This was my first time making stripes! After reading about making jogless stripes, these came out perfect! I am so happy with it! I now have enough yarn to make several more of these by mixing up the colors since I only used about 100 yards for one.
Unfortunately, this hat was too small to fit hubby. I have figured out how to adjust the pattern and I will be trying again to make it for him. This hat was bought by a co-worker to give to her nephew for Christmas so it will be put to good use.
