Christmas Gift Knit #1: Morgan Hat for Dad

I made one of these ingenious hats for my soon-to-be-brother-in-law Jamie last Christmas, and this year, Dad’s only Christmas request was to have a Morgan Hat of his own.

Full details are on Ravelry, but here are the basics:

• Pattern: Morgan, by Anne Kuo Lukito (@annekuolukito), on Knitty
• Yarn: Elsebeth Lavold Silky Wool and Rowan Kid Silk Haze, held together — just under 1 ball apiece
• Needles: Two 4.0 mm circs
• Other notions: Fine gauge plastic canvas, felt, and sewing thread for stiffening the peak
