This is a hat I knitted for Mike, when it came to my attention that he, the supportive husband of a knitter, was knit-hatless. Problem solved: a quick and dirty hat that is sturdy and warm enough to stand up to winter. Not the softest of wools, but it did soften when I washed it.

Oh, if you knit with this wool, don't pull hard on it. Just don't.

Notes: I somehow forgot the front neck shaping, but it doesn't seem to have made too much of a difference. Must remember to READ the pattern more often.

Thanks for Rosemary for the book! What a great birthday present. I had bought the yarn on impulse, glad I did.

This was my very first zipper! Thanks to everyone for the advice!
