In honor of the forcast for this weekend (chilly!) and my upcoming camping trip - I cast on for a hat. I basically finished it in one evening...
I give you the Center Square hat!
Specs:
Pattern - Center Square from knitty.com
Yarn - Brown is Lion Brand Wool Ease and blue is Cascade 220 - I used two strands of each held together.
Alternations - None - but if I make it again - I will decrease sooner - it's just a little too big.
Needles - Size 11 DPNs
I can tell ya - it's WARM!! The double stranding and fair isle make this baby like 4 layers thick!
Have a great weekend!

Cute. Where are you camping? I have a tent and stuff I need to use more often.
I really like the self-portrait - and the hat looks great! It will definitely keep you warm!
I love blue and brown together! Nice work!
I love it! this is the pattern that might, *might* have me trying colorwork someday. I like the colors you picked. Nice!
The hat is lovely, I love the colours - what shade is the blue yarn?
This is such a cute pattern - and blue and brown are a great color combo! Have fun camping!!

I have a bunch of 220 in that shade leftover from my daughters clogs. Maybe I'll make a hat!
Thanks for sharing :)
The hat looks wonderful, and I love the top decreases!
