....and another hat

Same pattern, different yarn (bamboo instead of merino) and different shade of blue. This one took longer, because Sublime Bamboo Pearl turned out to be difficult yarn to work with. It's very soft and lovely, but - never ever again. The reason being - it's made up if lots of separate strands that separate easily, and before you know it, you haven't hooked one strand and it's really noticeable. I had to frog back numerous times and crochet much slower to take care to hook every single thread.
