I finished my blue hat last week! The yarn is a soft wool from Berroco called Jasper. The pattern is Jester from the Berroco book Geode & Jasper #276. I really like this hat!
I had fun picking out the button at Joann's. I ended up buying three possibilities. Even though I'd taken the hat with me, I couldn't really decided until I was home and ready to sew the button on.Why does a person need a pocket on a hat? I think it's for your house key. I showed the hat to my boyfriend and he told me the pocket was for a biscuit...as in dog biscuit. I suppose on a cold day I could wear the hat with a biscuit in the pocket while walking Lucy. You never know when she might get hungry.
I learned the Kitchener stitch on this hat!
I learned the Kitchener stitch on this hat!The pattern calls for two skeins of yarn. I used very little of the second, just a bit for a few rows of the hat and the pocket. I think I'll make a Starbucks cozy with the leftovers.
Maybe it's a little too big on top...but it will keep my head warm this winter.

The hat is adorable on you and you did a terrific job sewing on the pocket.
I like the pocket and can think of all sorts of uses for it. It'll hold a key or coffee money so you can warm up on your walk.
Cute hat! I like working with Jasper for hats too. I really like the color of your hair in the pics
