knitting needles not included ;0)

I’m making some hats for a food pantry project in Chicago and the kids like ear flap hats.
So, I’ve knit one from a pattern I have. It’s double layered so it’s BEYOND warm.
The pattern calls for worsted weight alpaca, but I made mine in worsted weight wool. The construction is
easy and clever, so I’ll be making lots of these things in lots of sizes. As an aside, I’ve ordered a bunch of
alpaca and alpaca blends in lighter weights for future hats, and I think this hat is a good way to
make a warm hat with my preferred weight yarns..I’ll also be changing the stranded/color work section to something less fiddly.
