I've barely put my needles down to pick up my computer. I've knitted bottle cosies, tea cosies, mittens and my latest endeavour is a lovely cable hat! I've knitted this hat before, so it only took me a few hours to do, albeit those few hours were over the course of a few days once my work commitments took over. I'm just glad I have my knitting to keep me warm on these cold winter days!
The pattern is available as a free download on Ravelry and is by Patons. It is knit with chunky wool and takes about 100g altogether. The notes for the pattern are as follows:

My hat (the picture at the top) is knitted with a chunky marble wool but I cannot remember the brand of this wool! It is really easy to knit and the best part is it is knitting flat so you don't have any bother with circular needles!! The first one I did (pictured below) is knittedin two different grey yarns, both super chunky.
Let me know how it goes for you!
