Anime Hat

As soon as I came across this on the internet (while searching for top-down socks) I knew that I had to make it. It was so cute and it looked easy. It really did turn out to be very easy to make. I started it on Wednesday night and finished on Friday. I didn't want to have to buy yarn to make it (and I promised Todd that I wouldn't buy any more yarn) so I decided the gray merino wool I had would be fine. The pattern calls for a finer yarn but I actually knitted a swatch and figured out that I should follow the instructions for the smallest size and it turned out slightly smaller than I would have liked, but only by a tiny bit. Now I just need to make a little face and I'm all done.
