Really simple beanie; pattern was relatively easy to follow -- I stopped the knit row between decreases early (around K6, K2tog), because a lot of others commented on a pointy hat.

Yarn is soft, easy to work with -- just be careful not to split it.

Husband very pleased with beanie; his comment, “Wow! I like it, it doesn’t look stupid.”
Me: “Why would it look stupid? Did you think I’d knit you something stupid?”
Him: “No, I just didn’t know something knitted could look that nice. I love it!”

Silly, husband. FYI, the only reason he looks so serious in the picture is because I took while he was playing video games. :P
