I was really looking forward to making this hat. It actually knitted up pretty quick, considering I used size 7 needles. While I enjoyed it, I did not like how the stripes turned out (not lining up). The stripes were a series of two's, three's and one's. "Meg's Jogless Jog" technique works pretty good for the three stripe areas. The biggest problem were the one stripes. I searched and searched for a good method for one stripes, but only found a couple ways that made sense to me. The overall look isn't the greatest. I am blocking it right now to try to even things out, so we shall see.
