A Complete Ensemble

I finished a hat for my son, to go with his scarf and armwarmers, all in Saluki colors. And, unlike the arm warmers, the "make 1" stitches are correct, so there are no eyelets. And, unlike the slipper socks, the color changes are jogless.



The pattern is from here, and isn't a pattern in the usual sense, but rather a description of how to knit ribbed caps. This is the "Snug Garter Rib Cap" with an initial caston of 82 for the 1x1 rib, increased to 92 for the 2x2 rib.



The top was a little confusing and I frogged it once because I thought it wasn't right, then reknit it the same way because I convinced myself that it was right the first time. (Sometimes I am my own worst enemy.)
