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.

I made a hat very similar to this one for my husband... even the same yarn! He likes it because it's nice and warm. I also had to use smaller needles.
It looks perfect for a guy. I have a feeling it will get a lot of wear this winter.
Well done Karen. I am a very slow knitter but thanks for the pattern. I may give it a try but no promises. Your turned out lovely. Glad Ken ♥ it. When it comes to cold weather, any hat will do for me as long as its warm.
If I wore hats, I certainly would love this one.
