I knit the medium slouchy size and it fits perfectly.
The yarn is a gorgeous deep brown Rowan Pure Wool Aran.
I knit the ribbing on 4.5mm needles and changed to 5mm needles for the crown. I even managed to magic loop the last bit!
I liked it so much I am knitting another, for Tony's sisters birthday - which is tomorrow! Better get a move on....

that's really great - I might have to do myself one! what weight is the yarn? Looks excellent :o)
It's lovely! I wish I could wear hats! Might have another go!
What a cute hat. I might have to add that to my list.
Very cute! But does it stay on in the wind with your shiny hair?! I think it might be time to make a major fashion statement with hatpins! (Though I'm not sure what you would pin them to!)
Lovely beret Ruth! I've been debating making this one myself but I wasn't sure I could pull off a hat because I have a fringe.
But you have a fringe and it looks great! I think you have inspired me again (as you usually do!)
Very nice hat!
It's gorgeous! (still haven't posted the book to you...sorry. Also, I'm going to Paris this weekend, have you got any recommendations?!) x
I knit it too - fun, wasn't it?
Must get back to the blog...
