Hat for the Homeless

Hat for the Homeless The Yarn Harlot is having the Canadian launch of her new book tonight in Toronto at Indigo. (The American Launch was two months ago, and the book is already out here, so it's more of a formality than a true launch, but I digress.) Part of her tradition at these launches is to collect hats from knitters which are then donated to local homeless shelters. Last Friday, the planets aligned and it became clear that I could whip down to Toronto for about 24 hours to attend the launch. So I knit this hat. I used yarn from my stash and an online pattern, and it knit up super-quick (5 days from start to finish) and is super-warm and quite lovely, if I do say so myself. I would happily knit this hat again, so if there are any requests for one like it out there, let me know. Pattern: Knitty's Coronet Yarn: Briggs and Little Heritage
