Here is the feed-back: “Thank you for the beautiful hat. I really love it. He pattern, colors and
style are great. You are truly an artist !!!! Merry Christmas to you and
your family!!” and “I have received man;y compliments about the hat. Thank you again!!!!!!!”

Someone in my knitting group was making a Fake Isle hat. See here for yourselves: Ski Hat. It became an instant hit in our group (“I got to make one of these” kind of moment). It is a fun pattern. I used the solid color as main color and the Noro for the pattern.
I cut out the section of Noro which was a strong pink color. I like the pattern; wonder if the colors are OK for a guy (my son’s FIL), I think it will be OK. We will see Christmas Day.
