Earl Grey and Regina

I finished a hat today.  Actually it was yesterday but it was officially done blocking today.  I am not a fan of slouchy hats; however, this hat was so darn cute, I had to give it a try.

The hat pattern is called Regina and the designer is Carina Spencer.  I absolutely adore all of her patterns, and I have most them. The directions are easy to follow and she is available to answer any questions if the directions are a little too tricky.  The Regina pattern is a free download if you are on facebook.  Go to her page and "like" it, and you will receive the download.  There is also a knit along on Ravelry, in the Carina Spencer group, where you can see other variations of this awesome little hat.

My version was knit with Madelinetosh Tosh Merino DK in Earl Grey.  I purchased it at a yarn store in Texas.  This yarn was absolutely amazing to knit with and it is so soft.  Please excuse the awful picture, but I was excited to get this hat done and wanted to share what it looks like on.
