I have made this hat for my sister-in-law Laura. The yarn is Rowan Alpaca Colour Yarn in Amethyst, which I bought from Ocado (it is dangerous being able to buy yarn and have it delivered with my food). It was a pattern from a magazine (knit-today.com Christmas 2013) I only needed one 50g skein but the pattern stated two. I knitted more rib rows to start than the pattern suggested but the rest is the same.
I posted it to Laura on Thursday and she sent a text this morning to say she likes it and it will be having its first wearing this afternoon on a walk by the sea in Newquay. 🙂
