Creativity and inspiration have hit at the same time on the last handspinning.
This hat is warmer than warm as its knitted double and fits quite firmly so its not likely to take off in a high wind either !
Looks quite "chunky" and not at all uncool so will appeal to manly guys or trendy others :)
You will recognize the yarn from further down on the blog as the last lot of handspinning - this is a Romney cross and was already carded ready to go. I like to spin in the grease but this was as easy as falling off a log and knitted up in one evening and finished the next morning before coffee.
Mine is knitted one pattern shorter with a longer rib to keep out the cold.
