Hey Everybody :waving:
A Touch of Whimsy hat is now done. It was a fun and fast knit. I knit it to
go with A Touch of Whimsy scarf.
As with the scarf, I knit the hat with the luscious Malabrigo and size 7 needles for the hat band, size 8-16" circs and dpns for the top portion of the hat.
The pattern can be found here.
Next: “A Touch of Whimsy” fingerless gloves 
Buddy, that’s gorgeous! And it’s quick, too? You are too awesome!

WOW Rebecca!! I 
it! The color is just gorgeous too!! You are very talented!
You are so TALENTED Becka! That looks GREAT - perfect with the scarf, and who wouldn’t want to be just covered in MMMMMMMMalabrigo? :teehee:
thanks, guys! It was fun to knit, that’s for sure! I’m anxious to get the gloves and scarf done so I will stay toasty in the cold this winter 
:cheering: :cheering: :cheering:
Beautiful!
I’m so excited that you have the hat pattern done! :happydance: It is getting so darn cold here and I was going to work on the scarf while I’m at Stitches and now I can work on the hat too! :cheering: :cheering: :cheering: :cheering: :cheering:
THANKS REBECCA!!!111
That’s a beautiful set, Rebecca!
:thud: WOWOW!! that is beautiful!!! I it!
That’s Mala-whatsit? (I can never remember what its called!) It looks exactly (I mean exactly!) like a Kool-aid died yarn my Mom gave me which I am currently knitting into a pair of socks for my 3 yrold DD-how funny it’s the same color!! I have a sneaking suspicion my look-alike isn’t quite as soft, though!
Oh well, at least the color matches :shrug: she won’t know the difference-I’ll be happy if she just keeps them on her feet, LOL!
I can’t wait to see the matching fingerless gloves!
Wow!! So when you do the gloves, do you think they will be 1 hank of MMMMM as well? I see three hanks of MMMMMM purchased in the very near future.

Rebecca, you are incredible!!! :cheering:
You’re so clever, Becca - I love the hat! :notworthy:
Ya’ll are so kind! You’re giving me the big head :flirt: !!
You know, Laura, the hat didn’t even take a full hank, about 2/3 I think, I don’t think that the gloves will take an entire hank, but I hate to say that when I’ve not yet done them. But I bet they don’t. I had thought about doing a bit of a different design on them, too, but I’m doubt that I do, I will probably do them the exact same way that I did the hat, knit the cuffs for the arms, graft them (LOL, I said “graph” all over the pattern :oops: ), then pick up sts and knit the fingerless gloves, I was thinking that I was going to do them after I knit a shawl, but I don’t think I can wait :teehee:
LOL, I know what you mean, Jax, it does have a koolaid color to it, doesn’t it?! It is a lovely shade of pink, and oh…so soft! LOL, I bet she keeps her koolaid socks on her feet! That makes them extra special!
Thanks again, everyone, ya’ll just made my day :cheering: :cheering:
SO PRETTY!!!
Thanks so much for writing up such great patterns! I just ordered yarn from 100purewool in quantities large enough to make this set for myself AND my MIL in Turkey! 
Just wondering - is the hat generously sized? I like snuggly warm caps, and I’m hoping I won’t have to alter the pattern to accomodate my pickinesss.
Great job on the patterns and the knitting! Looking forward to the fingerless gloves. :cheering:
:notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy:
I have some Malabrigo that was waiting for a pattern!! Thank you for sharing these, Rebecca–you’re so generous and talented!!
Excellent job Rebecca! It’s beautiful! :cheering:
As I said on your blog – just beautiful! I wish I had half of your talent and creativity.
Heck, I’d settle for a third! :notworthy:
Rebecca you did it again. The hat is gorgeous and you are very talented.
My Goodness, Ya’ll are so sweet! You have really and truly made my day by saying such nice things 
Thanks so much! :cheering: :happydance: :cheering:
Bridgette, as for the size, I think that it’s about normal, I don’t really know what the average head size it for women, sorry! It fits my big head very snuggly…and, much to my surprise, I’ve got a big head :oops: ! I just remeasured my head, and it’s still big 
:roflhard: 21 3/4 inches. I also remeasured the hat, it’s 19 3/4 inches in it’s very relaxed state and it stretches to fit my head nicely, I think that it will stretch farther if need be and still be snug on a smaller head because of the cabling.
Should you need to adjust sizing, I don’t believe that it would be difficult, just as long as you end with an even # row on the hat band. Please, don’t hesitate to ask if you have any questions!
Thanks Becka!
