Lilac Baby Hat

Just started another hat today.  The weather here is so dreary and it's snowing, yet again.  Need something bright and spring like.  I'll make this for the upcoming Fall Festival at the kids school.  With the flash on, the yarn is much lighter than it really is.  It's much more purple/grey.

My first hat with a 2x2 rib (first inch), then knit all the rest.  I think I'll try to end it at the top, after decreasing, with an umbilical cord knot.  There, no flash and the yarn looks as it should.

I really like this Yarn Bee brand, half cotton and half acrylic. 

I hate acrylic, but this blend is really nice.
