On Saturday I finished this hat, Natty by Wendy Bernard. It's a pattern I found on Ravelry and I'm really pleased with how it turned out. The original pattern doesn't specify the yarn I used (Knit Picks Wool of the Andes Bulky - in Redwood Forest Hand-Dyed) but it worked out quite well. I opted not to make the matching scarf, because I didn't think it would lay well in this yarn.

One thing that's pretty cool about this pattern is that the hat is completely reversible (scarf would be, too, if I made it). This required me to make the finishing super-neat, but it wasn't difficult. Only two ends to weave in and the variegated color of the yarn made it pretty easy to hide them.

I do have another skein (and a little left from the first), so I'll eventually want to find something to make from it. Suggestions are welcome. :)
