One thing I really like about the design of the hat is the way the four panels come together at the top. I have had trouble with this type of thing in the past, so the results are particularly pleasing. I like the balance of light and dark at the top, too.
The inside looks pretty good--notice the Blood Red Lining. I tried to be diligent about carrying the yarn evenly across the back, but I like that the lining covers up the part that is most likely to be handled and therefore snagged.
Project Recap:
- Pattern: Hello Yarn (there are other great patterns there)
- Main Yarn: Dale of Norway Heilo, one skein charcoal and one skein cream
- Lining Yarn:GGH Merino Soft, fairly small amount of red
- Needles: Size 1 (lining) and 3 (all else), 16" circulars. Origin of each unknown, but the size 1 is brutally sharp. Do not attempt to take on a plane!!!

Now, when you say small....
. . it just might fit you! It won't fit S____ M_____ due to excessive hair, and E_______ G______ already has a slightly small hat that I made her a few years back. Seriously, I don't think I've ever made a hat that fit my intended victim/giftee. Send me your new address and maybe it will land in SC!
Fabulous hat! Too bad my thick hair gives me a 'big head' - makes hat making troublesome!
I think the dashed cross on the top balances with the skulls design, too.
