Mrs. Jekyll & Little Hyde Hat

Pattern:
Mrs. Jekyll & Little Hyde
Le Maison Rililie

Yarn:
Cascade 220 Fingering
Silver
In the Navy

I loved that this hat was reversible! It will be extra warm and I'll be able to where it when I'm feeling more girly or more tom-boyish!

The cast on took forever to figure out, and I have to say, it wasn't worth the work. The band is tighter than it would have been with my usual easy cast on. Oh well, it was good to learn a new cast on. The tighter band will just mean that it's a good hat for extra windy days and covering my ears. It'll probably end up being really helpful.

The striped side is a bit bigger, so it tends to poof out more and look a bit like a Rastafarian hat. It'll probably grow on me too. I'm a little underwhelmed at the moment, but I'll give it time before deciding it's not the best pattern I have done.
