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!
