This is a hat made from the  Strawberry Milkshake of Phoenix Bess . Actually, it’s a hat and glove set but the hat is featured in this blog post.

Now that it is  colder,  it is the perfect time to make this hat. It is very comfortable, made out of Tilli Tomas Aspen and Flurries, which has little beads strung on the wool yarn. The pattern is simple and the hat is very easy to knit. It is perfect as a quick-to-knit gift.

Use the pattern but change the colors of the yarn to meet your desires.    Phoenix has done it in red as well as in black.  Then on another hat that she made with this pattern, she just followed the pattern but changed it a tiny bit. She kept on knitting the top (before the 2×2 rib) so that it was a lot taller, thus making a smurf hat.
