So I found a pattern for a hat that I love. Cashmere Beanie from Knit-A-GoGo. Cute website and they do knitting classes for parties and such.
Anyways, I saw this pattern at a Knit Happens and just had to make it. So I bought myself some gorgeous slate blue yarn and some darker blue because I knew I would make 2. The pattern is pretty easy and it didn't take me long to finish. I finish the hat and try it on and it doesn't come down over my ears since I have a big head.

So when I'm at the store again I get a skein or off-white and red because these hats will make great gifts. So I make the white one last Wednesday night while Mike was at darts. I got to the point where I needed to start my decreases and I measured to make sure it was longer than the other hat. It was. I finish it up and sure enough, it doesn't fit my head either.
I got the wooden buttons at the yarn store down the street from my house.
So I have 2 hats to give away for Christmas and it's only August
Here are my hats:
