Le Boring Hat

Pattern: B for boring.

It’s a perfectly fine pattern. There’s nothing wrong with it; it’s not confusing and it’s not poorly written. It’s just dull. Even the results are dull. However, my husband requested a warm, comfy hat, and many men do not care for frills. My husband is unfortunately included in this bunch, so I produced the above hat.

Here’s the pattern: http://www.piece-by-piece.net/Patterns/fp45.htm

What’s nice about this pattern is it features increases and decreases based upon the size of the prospective head, so the hat can be longer, or shorter, or narrower, etc. Very few patterns do this correctly, so I appreciate that.

I need to get a mannequin, or a model, or something. Unfortunately, even the tiny things cost money, and I don’t get paid this month, because of the Christmas break. Which reminds me, the next person who says I get paid through the summer and holidays when I don’t work is getting punched in the mouth.  Le Boring Hat, btw, was made with gray cashmere yarn that I bought ages ago at That Place That Shall Remain Unnamed that I no longer go to. (Rhymes with Bobby Dobby).
