Luggy Bonnet


This is a hat I finished a while back. It’s based on the Luggy Bonnet pattern in Weekend Knitting. It looks pretty different from the pattern, which was multi-colored stripes with star or heart motifs. But I had this fluffy blue yarn with coordinating novelty yarn, multi-colored yellow and orange with little nubs that knit up into a thick terry-cloth fabric, and I wanted a hat with earflaps and a crocheted border so I could get the nubby yarn in an even edging all the way around. The ear-flaps curled up a bit more than I anticipated, but I guess the overall effect is super-funky but in a cute way…

Hey! Your hat matches your jacket. Did you do that on purpose?
