My ears were cold

I'm not really the Jane Austen style sort.  So usually I have blown by the Jane Austen knits magazine ... until I saw this cute shop sample hat at 3 Bags Full.  I was charmed.

Pattern:  Walking to Meryton hat
Yarn:  Donegal Luxury Tweed Aran (yummy!!)


The pattern in the magazine uses a rather frightful fuchsia and turquoise combination.  The other ravelry examples definitely don't do it justice.

I made the medium version and, of course, it was a bit big so I tried to shrink it a bit in the dryer .... it felted a smidge, which I'm not entirely sure I like.
