Beginner's Hat and Scarf Reviewed by Barbara Dunn on 2010-02-16
I absolutely LOVE this pattern. I've made two so far and plan more. Goes fast, fast, fast, and I'm still a slow knitter. I don't suggest using a varigated yard because the varigation obscures the interesting pattern (see picture), which I think is the best feature of this hat. The pattern also lends itself to being very creative. The first one I made according to directions. The second one I included a very wispy strand of metallic yard along with the Thick & Quick and used the metallic for the pom-pom. A dynamite hat! I didn't try the scarf.
