Purple Butterscotch for Halos of Hope

Here’s the second hat for December in my 2014 Stash Bust Challenge.  This is the Cable and Rib Slouchy Hat from Red Heart.  I really like this pattern.  It uses short rows for the crown shaping and it’s pretty easy.  When I was a little more than half-way through I realized I wouldn’t have enough purple yarn (Caron Simply Soft) so I added the blocks of cream to get the needed circumference.  The only other modification I made was a slight adjustment to the brim.  I’d like to add a pom-pom but I’m going to wait until I have a chance to crochet another Divine Hat with the remaining cream yarn as I don’t want to run short.  If there’s enough cream left over, I’ll make a pom-pom for this hat.  If not, it looks good as is!

This hat weighs 3.5 ounces.
