I take my hat off to teachers

I haven't posted a lot of the things I've made over the last several months because I've been a bit distracted (studying for the boards, playing with my game-obsessed son, cutting up all the veg in my CSA, etc etc).  I'll try to get back into it so we have something to talk about when you visit, Win :)

This is a hat that I made for one of E's teachers.  I ran out of time in the Christmas rush and gave her this:

And so we worked out that she wanted a thick warm hat with a brim that she could wear while standing out in the carpool line ushering kids into cars.  And she's all about the color RED.  So here it is.

Pattern:  Anja's hat

Yarn:  Berroco Vintage Chunky

Love the pattern so much that I think I'll make one for myself :)  but in a different color.  Perhaps a brown tweed?
