The Quest...has ended!

In my quest for the "perfect" hat, I have made many types, sizes, and designs of hats in the past few months. Well, I am very happy to tell you, the quest has ended successfully! I discovered during my trek that for me personally, I needed a rather large, wide-brimmed hat. (the results of having a large (NOT fat and NOT big!!) head and face. I give you (in both coloring and personage!) the "Robin" Hat ...


Can you believe it started out this big?!?
It is knitted using Fiber Trends pattern WP01, "The Wool Pak Felt Hat". Until I can get a better pic of it on me later when someone else can take one for me, here is how it fits on my large head...

Here is the hat I made for my friend Susan's birthday....the Lava Hat...(as she has red hair and blue eyes, it really suits her complexion!) This is a free pattern, "Deb's Derby". Most of my earlier hats used variations of this pattern.
And last but not least, the Bo-Peep Hat (my own design...a tam with a brim):
I'm done with hats now...(for a while at least!)...on to socks and clogs! Check ya later!
