My new hat! It is COLD and I wanted a new, cute, knit hat. This one is a hybrid between the Vinter Lue from Knitty and a llama earflap hat..It is knitted on size 7 needles with Noro Kuryeon wool yarn. I used the whole ball (exactly), but I have a tiny head--if you have a bigger head you'll need another ball!

Sorry about the lovely picture, but it is hard to take a photo of my own head and this one came out best...
