These are the last two hats and all six will go in the mail tomorrow morning. The one on the left is from the skein I just showed in my last blog, spun from Blue-Face Leicester roving dyed by my neighbor Mim. It uncannily matched up with a skein I dyed last weekend. I clearly need better hat models than ta cookie jar and a cannister.
Thanks for all the nice compliments about my hat patterns but the recognition really belongs to this book. I bought it from the library used book sale for $1, probably the best $1 I've ever spent in the library. Roberts breaks the patterns into ethnic groups and then into stitch repetitions. I've used the 16 stitch repeat a lot.

The hats are lovely! A nod to the book, but you are putting motif and colors together -- that is the more important part of the process.
Great hats! I recently picked up that book at a used bookstore, but haven't put it to use yet.
Wow! I really like the way that last skein patterened out!
What a book bargain and what a great recommendation. I've eyed those books in the catalogues, but haven't bitten the bullet yet. Wish my library sales had finds like that.
