This is actually something I finished earlier in the month--a gift for Adam. But, I had wrapped it and placed it under the tree almost as soon as I wove in the ends, so I haven't had a chance to take a picture until now. I might take a better one (with something other than my phonecam) when I can catch Adam wearing it!
Pattern Koolhaas hat, by Jared Flood.
Source Interweave Knits Holiday Gifts 2007.
Yarn Elsebeth Lavold, Silk Wool, Color #45, 1 skein.
Needles Sizes 3 (3.25 mm) and 5 (3.75).
Modifications For a larger size more suited to Adam and because of the smaller gauge of yarn, I casted on 128 sts, repeated the pattern 7 times, and repeated the last row of the decrease pattern twice (to end with 8 sts, instead of 16 sts).
I really love how this turned out in the lighter weight yarn--I also really love the pattern. I will probably not stop at just one--My neighbors have asked for grey or black versions; I think I want a pink manos version for myself.
