This hat was designed and knit on Christmas Eve, once all the wrapping and cooking and baking was done. It's now time for Schnapps and I to get back to making hats again and he whipped this one up in no time at all. Thank you Robin for the name!
This will probably be the last hat pattern of 2013. Although, if he comes up with anything else in the next few days, I'm sure he'll share the pattern.
The patterns in the photo below are the patterns found in The Play Book,
an e-book of patterns that are not published elsewhere. The e-book can
be purchased by using the link to the right on this page or by going to
my Ravelry store or my Craftsy store.
Those links are also to the right of this page. 100% of the cost of
all my patterns is put right back into supplies and shipping for DEHH.
