Whilst in Wales, eldest son decided he wanted to buy a hat. One of those ear
flappy things that 'they all seem to be wearing nowadays' (how old am I?). Of course he went for the most hideous, most lurid, most acrylic hat he could find. Just awful.
I could make one of those, I rashly promised. So as soon as we got back home, I started scouring
Ravelry for a pattern. Hunted around in the
Stashbasket for some long forgotten yarn. And hey presto, a much more tasteful hat was born. I had to make a lining for the flaps because they just rolled right up.
He likes it. A miracle. Excuse me while I sit down and recover from the shock.

Nice response to challenge!
And son looks very handsome in the custom version :)
(my word verification: unerd !!!)
Your version is infinitely better... good job he liked it!
Which pattern is that? I like it. I've used Tiennie's star hat, which works very well (her name plus the word "hat" should provide an adequate search string).

It's a wonderful hat, much cooler than his shop-bought version. Lucky, lucky young man. I wonder if my DS would like one - I must ask him!
Hat! Like it!
That's what Evie said when she saw the hat. But then she is a girl with taste.

Handsome boy, and the hat you made him looks great! I love it when the kids want to wear something handmade!
Love the hat - I have a bought one (made of wool I might add) it was a gift from other half and daughter! I wear it loads in the winter whilst walking the dog! Must have a go at making my own! Thanks for the inspiration.
Have made loads of fingerless gloves for the teenagers in our cirle and they love them!
It looks great - well done - I wonder if the ikky acrylic one will be left for dead and your version be worn more - will be interesting to see.
