Platypus Hat
At knitting one evening, my friend announced that her superpower was that all hats look good on her. At that time I had yet to find a knitted hat that looked better on me than a standard ball cap. What's a knitwear designer to do? Well, design a hat with a bill, of course!
The unique rolled bill on The Platypus Hat is the perfect compromise between a ball cap's firm bill and knitted hat's soft fabric. I don't know why, but it works with my face and on Nadine (whose super power is undeniable) it's seriously adorable!
The Platypus Hat comes in 3 sizes and can be made either "sleek" (which the men in my life prefer) or "slouchy" (which is roomy enough to hide all your hair on a bad hair day!). It is made with Knit Picks Chroma Twist Bulky, a truly gorgeous yarn which I highly recommend. Any size and either variation can be made from 1 skein.
