[rebeccav]

thank you all so much :)h

i hope he enjoys it. he wears this style hat all the time.

anyhow, HERE (http://members.aol.com/lffunt/guycap.html) is the link to the pattern.

it took less than 1 skein of the woolease and just about 1 1/2 hour----- i'm thinking aboutthe matching scarf..... we'll see how the time factor goes.

That is quite nice, Rebecca--I'm sure he'll like it.

As for the freckles...I've got plenty. All over me, my dog's name is that, and that is the title of one of the books I like. :))

[crochetdiva]

Rebecca, I think you put the wrong link up.

[emeraldmoon]

I think your grandfather will be one happy man.. You did a great job..

[rebeccav]

sorry about that, i fixed the link. :computer

[Deb]

That is wonderful Rebecca! :)h He is sure to love it.

[crochetdiva]

I have a question. The yarn you used in the hat was wool ease. What is the weight/thickness of the yarn? Is it like worsted weight or chunky? :shrug I am not familiar with Wool Ease. Thanks

I really like the cap. I was describing it to my husband who is British and he said it is called a flat cap. I am never very good at describing things (and he is away so we only talk on the phone) and I was saying there was this english style hat pattern.....but it' like describing french fries to a french person and he didn't know what type of hat an "english style" one was. Yet another cultural hurdle passed:p . You wouldn't believe the differences despite speaking the same language.
