First Finished Object of 2011. Another quick hat that was perfect to do on a recent plane trip.

The pattern is Jenny Cloche by Julia Madill. I’d found this great vintage broach at a thrift store awhile back and thought it’d be perfect on this. Unfortunately I think my yarn (Wool-ease Thick & Quick) is slightly too bulky gauge-wise. The hat is a bit on the large size and so thick I feel it makes my head look a little big? Maybe it’s just me. I did rip and redo with the ribbed band decreased by 4 sts after seeing how big it was turning out.
Although it does rather have a vintage turban feel to it as well.

I had briefly thought about frogging it, but I think I’ll keep it. It’s definitely nice and warm around the ears, very functional.
(And I need an excuse to use that pin right?)
