Hat!

‘Nother Christmas present. This matches the Cabled Scarf I knit a while back. Same yarn, LB Thick & Quick in Redwood. I used some plastic canvas to support the brim.
This makes a pretty cute set. I really like the seed stitch/cable combo, especially in that bulky weight yarn. I’m thinking I may want to make some mittens to go with this.

The pattern is Knit Newsboy Hat from Red Heart. The knitting took me a few hours, but I managed to stretch the finishing (cutting the plastic canvas, inserting it, seaming the brim and then weaving in the ends) to about four days. I have not even blocked this puppy yet.
