Hat for Hugh

Hugh is slightly more impressed with his hat than Rory was. I had made him long scarves on either side of the hat but he was not happy about those; we compromised, and I frogged about 16 inches off of each scarf and put a little button on and now he has a bit of a neckwarmer thing instead of a scarf. He has worn it, but apparently it "picks" him a little bit so I have no idea how much use it will get. It was a quick and fun knit, though, which makes up for a lot. (Added later: It turns out that he wears this hat all the time and seems to love it. Definitely worth it.)
