Bankhead Hats

 Needed to make hats for the other members of the family

Still have lots of left over yarn.  So father and son hats it is

Here is the one for KDR

This was a very easy pattern very clear and no issues at all

I thought the crown decreases might not work but in fact they make a really nice finish

Very happy with the result

I made Adult Large to be sure that it isn't too small.  The rib can easily be turned back if needed

Here's the one for G

B's Lacie Gracie Hat

Found some scraps of left over yarn which were just enough to make a little hat for Miss B.
This looked like a great pattern but as usual I found I needed to make some modifications 

I didn't like the rolled edge so ripped it out and used 4 rows of K2P1K2P2 rib

The lace rib looked quite clumsy with this thicker yarn so just did two repeats.

After that I followed the pattern




The hat came out quite long but should fit the little one easily
