I finished three hats, but unfortunately I failed at the hat trick. I finished the third hat on February 1, then had to block it, so I didn’t finish in time. But, here is my late third hat.

Date started: January 16, 2011
Date finished: February 1, 2011
I don’t know how obvious it is in the picture, but the underhat is a lilac color and kind of stripey, but I guess you can’t really see the color well in the below pic either.
I think the lace looks really cool, except for the one spot where I must have dropped a stitch or something toward the center.
It happened as I was decreasing, and I knew I messed up, but at the time I couldn’t really see how. It wasn’t obvious until it was blocked. And really, had I been able to figure it out, I might not have had the patience to fix it. I was irritated because I didn’t finish in time. But still, I really like it. It’s pretty warm and I like how it looks on me, particularly the colors.
