More hats. Well, one more. For my MIL, Sue.

Let me preface this by stating that she picked out the colors; apparently it's a society thing. And I thought that it would burn my retinas to knit it, but it wasn't so bad. In fact, it was kind of nice and fun.

While we were in Frankenmuth this past Christmas, Sue-mom helped me pick out the yarns to make her a hat. Yummy Lorna's Laces Shepherd Worsted (superwash wool) in Bold Red and Berroco Zoom in purple. Next I needed the perfect hat pattern. I couldn't do any better than the one and only Bonne Marie's Bucket Hat.

stylin'!

This pattern was fun and easy - (bucket) hats off to Mme. Burns. I knit the smallest size because I was told that Sue-mom has a tiny, wee head. (Boy, I sure hope so 'cuz this sucker is teeny.)

I followed the pattern exactly, but adding the eyelash yarn just before the brim ended/after going to one strand of yarn. I continued carrying the eyelash with the wool for four rows after the last purl row. And IMHO, I think it turned out wonderful. So much so, that I may have to make one for me (in not so eye-catching colors).
