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!
You and that hat ADORABLE!!!! Wow, I've never come across your blog before, and I am really enjoying cruising it...I'm usually a drive by reader, but I just had to put on the brakes to tell you Hi!
