Ken's Hat

 Knitted Hat for Ken

I have tried quite a few hat patterns and finally found one

that I like.

He says he is very happy with the fit and color.

The yarn I used is from Hobby Lobby and is called 'I love this yarn.' 

Color is Tin Roof. 

Pattern called for size needles 7 and 8 but I used sizes 3 and 4 to get the size I wanted.
