No snow in Santa Monica!
Features that make this hat cool:
1) Pigtail holes (of course)
2) Loop at the top for hanging on ski locker hooks
3) Double-knit head band. The inside is cashmere, for extra warmth and softness.
I used Manos del Uruguay yarn for this (the stuff I bought for my knit lesson) and the Debbie Bliss Pure Cashmere I had left over from my Springtime Headband project.

I asked my husband what the hat reminded him of and he said a tea cozy. So voila, I call it the Head Cozy hat.
I need to knit a few more of these and write up the pattern, which I'll post ASAP. My first original knit design!
