The Bloke Hat is the 'First Hat' pattern in ''Knit Two Together' by Tracey Ullman and Mel Clark. It was the first time I've used circular needles so I wanted to keep it simple, but I have to say it was as easy as pie. I used Rowan Scottish Tweed yarn in two colours. The intention was for said bloke to receive hat for his birthday in March, but he has a trip to Toronto coming up next week so he got it early in preparation for some rather lower temperatures than we have been used to of late. I've barely worn my winter coat this year and I have to say I wouldn't mind a walk in the crisp midwinter wrapped up in woolly things, and back to some hot reviving beverages. Mind you, being snowed in for 2 weeks last year was not fun, so I should be careful what I wish for.
It gets the thumbs up from me (of course). Not sure about the size of the nose in the second image. Anything that you could knit to cover that up?
