I love this hat because it's:
Easy to knit
Stylish and warm
And you get two-for-one - it's fully reversible, just turn it inside out!
slightly gloomy pics - a distinct lack of daylight this week!
And he loves it, which is a relief.
The pattern is Christopher by Jane Richmond, and it knits up on 4.5mm needles. I used some more Sublime organic merino from my stash. It's wonderfully soft, with a fine halo. It's such a shame this wool has been discontinued, though I have to confess to buying quite a few balls in various colours when it was discontinued at Kemps and Black Sheep (both sites are worth keeping an eye on, the occasional gem turns up).

That hat is fantastic!
Heavens, with those perfectly neat and teeny stitches I'm not in the least bit surprised he loves it. x

Oh it's absolutely perfect! And in the exact colors I was imagining for a Christopher to go with G's winter coat. Now off to track down discontinued yarn!
