Both of my cats refused to pose for a picture modeling the new hat I made last weekend.

And my husband’s head would stretch out my new hat.

I don’t have one of those head models, so I had to model the hat myself.

I was quite happy with how it turned out! I liked the pattern, which uses a sort of baby cable stitch, and this lovely silk-merino yarn is warm and luxurious.

I think that crochet flower adds a subtle but charming touch too! Definitely need to embrace warm things around here these days, since I don’t have a fur coat like those spoiled cats pictured above.
