Gifted to Missy for the Tummel Secret Santa exchange. I think she likes it!

My first real stranded knitting project. I pretty much made it up as I went -- I charted the lowest “snowflake” pattern, and then did my own thing after that. Quick and fun. This is my best hat to date. I just have to decide who will be the deserving recipient.

(I only used about a third of the Patons skein.)

Stash-busting and Christmas knitting! Those two always seem to go together …
