'Just a Tam Minute' Hat

It's finally done! I really love how this pattern turned out, and can't wait to make more. I ran out of the black crochet cotton I was using for the body of the hat, so I switched to a remanent of tweed thread I had sitting in the bottom of my yarn bin. (I scored 5 skeins of the stuff YEARS ago at a yard sale, and am down now to the tiniest little bit!)

( http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HCKL/ ) I used Peace Fleece in the Hemlock colorway, and the cord (twisted, my fave style) is Peace Fleece in the Negotiation Gray colorway.
