I sort of used the London Beanie instructions, but I also followed the decreasing instructions in Elizabeth Zimmerman's Knitting Without Tears. Anyway, it ended up looking more like a woman's hat than a man's.
So, off in the mail it goes tomorrow, along with the scarf of same thread (both for my NIL); a LB Fun Fur scarf & Bernat Boa hat for DN... Veggie Tales stuffed animals and some fleece pants for little precious one of theirs, and other assorted goodies.
Off to find some other thing to not knit correctly.

Hat's Done...
but I'm not happy with it. I guess it is just that it is too big. The bottom is too loose and I don't know how to tighten it. So much for 'cast on loosely' (which is NO reflection on the pattern, just me).
