I've been wanting to make this hat for a while, and this wintry weather finally pushed me over the edge! I got the yarn at Piedmont Yarn near my house, and the pattern here. It's a wee bit small, but my big head should stretch it out.

COLORS!

I'm really into the color trends of fall 2008. They seem extra rich this year!

Here's an example from Etsy seller getfeltup of the colors I'm especially loving; teal and mustard. I also like the plum shade that seems to be everywhere, but I'll shallowly admit that it doesn't look good with my new hair.

I have yarns in both these colors and hopefully I'll get something done before they're out of style again!
