Adoration Of The Hat

I love this hat pattern more than any other I have knit in the past 12 years. And you know that I've knit quite a few by now.

I knit it first in red and black for myself. I showed it to a friend who was smitten with it and I offered to knit one for him in his favorite colors, blue and black.

I love it just as much as in red and black.
