This yarn is actually a worsted weight.

Looks like a good basic hat pattern. I love how the yarn does the color work for you!

I'm just leaning to knit.

I have got to learn to knit! If I won the yarn it would make a pretty crocheted hat!

I am so cold all the time this hat would be perfect to keep my head warm during the winter.

Cute...but I crochet, not knit, so I'd have to figure how to crochet it and still have it look similar.

would love to learn to make hats
