Amanda's Hurricane Hat

As I was blogging about Shae's sweater today, I came across a bunch of photos of projects I never got around to posting. Here's one I'm really proud of. I liked the Hurricane Hat I made for myself so much, I turned around and made one for Amanda, too. Like with mine, I used two strands of yarn, both to add a tweedy look and to add warmth. It doesn't stretch nearly as badly as the first hat I made for her. Here's a close-up. The tweedy look makes it hard to see the actual pattern detail, but it's called Hurricane Hat because there's a row of purls that swirls up to the top.
