A faaaaabulous funky hat!

Yesterday I cast on the first stitches for my new Funky Hat, and believe it or not, I finished it the same day!

Here are the photos:

(Note the pom-pom.  It is imperative that every Funky Hat have a pom-pom. :-) )

I like it!  I admit cheerfully that the cable I put in (barely visible in the side) doesn’t show at all, but other than that it’s a nifty little hat that will keep my ears warm in Chicago.  And pretty to boot.

Compare to last year’s Funky Hat:

I’m enjoying this so much that I think I may make this a yearly tradition!  Only, me being me, next year I shall have to try it with beaded, sequinned, and sparkly yarn in addition to more practical (for which read “warm”) yarns.
