Sam's New Hat

I like to knit for my brother-in-law, Sam.   He is a good receiver.  He wears what I make him.  He will wear stuff that is a little crazy.   When I saw the Siouxsie Stitch's Heart Skull Hat on Ravelry, I knew I had to make it for him.   It left in the mail on Wednedsday.  It should, I hope, arrive today.

The Heart Skull Hat in Berroco Comfort

The yarn is Berroco Comfort.  The colors are deep and rich.  The yarn itself is a nylon/acrylic mix.  It is soft and stretchy.  For people who do not tolerate wool and do not live in a particularly cold climate it is a good choice.  As it is a bit splitty, a bit of care must be taken to avoid mishaps, but it is a pretty good yarn to knit up.  Due to sales and random good luck, I have a big bag of hat exclusively for use of Sam hat production.

This was a really fun project and knit up quickly.   I may do a set for a cousin, his two year old son, and the new baby expected in April.   They would get a kick out of it....as would the grandma.  I might even do one for the mom, if I thought she would wear it.  What better way to express family love than matching skull hats?
