Swirls
Is it...? could it be...? It is! It's a FO!
The Beaufort pattern by Knititude and as soon as I got my second ball of yarn I needed for this it was finished right away. On mine the bottom has a slight scalloping which is different from the pattern photo but I rather like it. It has been swatching, swatching over here lately and it's felt like forever since I've had a finished item. This was just the thing I needed. I forgot to get a photo of the top decreases but they're done quite cleverly and maintain the pattern nicely.
Pattern: Beaufort hat
Yarn: Jo Sharp Desert Garden Aran Cotton in 238 dandelion, 2 skeins
Yarn Source: Fuzzy Mabel ($4 a ball and free shipping!)
Needles: Size 8 Denise's and bamboo dpns

I like that subtle scalloping along the edge too, and love that pale green--it really sets off your hair color. Nice!

Pretty hat! The color goes really well with the leafy stitch pattern.

Nice hat. Looks great with your hair!
Like my mom would say you have a good hat head. She likes hats but won't wear them because she thinks she looks funny. She's jealous of my hat head. LOL

That hat, scallops and all, turned out wonderfully and looks great on! I really do like the scalloped edge with the leaf pattern.
Hee hee - I think I may have teased you at the SnB about doing nothing but swatches.
