Two Hats in One

I have finally finished my fiance's hat! With working on Misha*Puff's stuff I haven't had a lot of time to work on his hat, but I found a way to get it done. :)

With it being as cold as it is in Canada, he wanted it to have two layers. I did a provisional cast on(the light blue yarn) and knit the outer layer.

After completing the outer layer I picked up my live stitches on the provisional cast on and knitted the hat in the opposite direction in stockinette stitch instead of the ribbing. I also knitted the inside layer a about a 1/2"-1" more than the outer layer before starting my decreases. This gave the inside layer room to not be stretched out when attached to the outer layer. 

To connect the two layers I simply weaved in the two layers together at the very top of the hat. It is invisible. I really enjoyed experimenting with making this hat not only super warm, but also making it reversible!

Wish Upon a Star

Do you remember those star buttons that I showed you in a previous post? Well, I finally put them where they belong, on little Charlotte's hat. :)

A Hat for Ava

One of my close friends asked if I would make her daughter a hat for this winter. At first I was thinking it might take me awhile...wrong, this hat only took me a few evenings to make! I am already finished with another hat for another lovely little lady. :)

You can find the pattern for this hat on ravelry: The Hudson Hat by Heidi May

I used a slightly smaller gauge than what the pattern called for. The hat is knitted up in children's size.

When I went button hunting I originally wanted to choose a contrasting color button against the yarn but couldn't find any good ones. I did find these pinky-brown ones that almost camouflage into the hat. I am not much of a matchy person, but I actually don't mind how well the buttons go with this hat. :) I hope Ava likes it!
