The Boyfriend Hat, redone
BF liked his hat so much that he wore it to pills and it's stretched to fit a watermelon, not a head. He asked me to redo the hat, and fix the sizing so that if it's a snug fit that will stretch slightly.
Sunny day. Bright colors. A hat that fits. Happy BF. This was reknit on Denise circulars #9, from the brim up.
Washed, the pilling isn't too bad. I guess it needed a washing. I guess I've been designated ribbed-hat-washer-girlfriend. Hmmph. Let's see who's getting their handspun, handknit cashmere socks for their berfday.

I loved it last year and I still love it!
Wow - he wore it so much it pilled and then requested another one! He must love your hats :) It's very nice.
I love the colours of this hat, very bright and saturated, my kind of colours for sure.
