FO: Hat Fit For a Father

Pattern:  Hat Fit for a Boyfriend
Yarn: Lorna's Laces Shepherd Worsted (100% superwash wool - not vegan)
Needles:  8 circulars
Modifications:  none.  I did a cable cast on like the pattern writer did and really liked the edge.  I knit for about 7 inches before decreasing.
Notes:   This hat is for my father who is currently in Colorado where it's very cold and he requested a wool hat in brown or green.  I love how the yarn is patterned - almost stripes but very faint.  I hope this keeps his head warm!  I used a tiny bit over half of the skein and still have the rest left to make another hat or pair of fingerless gloves.  This hat was very easy to knit in the round with a K3 P2 ribbing but the best part is the decreases at the top.  You decrease every other rib first and it looks so nice! I tried to take a photo from the top but they all came out blurry.
