These are the "Pin up Boy" hats, designed by Jared Flood. The light blue one I did first. It has the mistakes, and is to long, so needs to be turned up. The Pinky one next, but i feel that the multi nature of the yarn, decreases the impact of the pattern, but it shows up when worn. The steel blue one is just about perfect, but I probably need to drop 2 rows of rib.
I got all three done, becuse it rained for my whole holiday. I have memorised the pattern, but there would have to be 8 to 10 hours work at least in each.
I'm happy with this one, (the Kid too)
This one is called Dizzy, its from the knitty.com site, and is knitted in Patons Jet on 5.5mm needles. I like it, and its not as complicated as "pin up boy"
I'm now waiting on a order from oze yarn of discontinued pretty Jet colours, more Hats. They are just the right size project for me.

3 times?! It wll be a while before I can revisit the koolhaas. Despite memorising the pattern, all that cabling really bugged me. Love the hat though. If you haven't already, you should try the Elizabeth Zimmerman snail hat.
