Finished Toque
Wow... it looks like a toque. Not only did I have enough yarn, I have *leftover* yarn. (Which is good, because I was *really* tempted to add green and a stem at the top... and I really doubt my dad would wear a pumpkin hat.)
Oddly, the last part of the hat went much faster than the first part... and I think it was more than the shorter rows. I think having the row counter (observable progress), more to hold onto, and curiosity helped speed the finish along.
Here I am testing it out:
I sure hope dad's head is about the same size as mine... I doubt it will stretch much more. (I have a big head.)
It appears to be completely functional... although the black spots detract from the look a bit.
(As I imagine making it purposely have cheetah spots... no! Must resist!!!)

Well, you've killed two birds with one stone! He will have a functional hat that will keep his head cold and make him visible to motorists and hunters ;)
Hopefully it'll keep his head warm. ;)
And the third bird: this was reject yarn from the baby blanket. :) (Due to the dirty spots.)
Hooray for enough yarn! The hat looks great.
I'd make detachable leaves and stems for it anyway, just to freak your dad out. :)
Oooo! That's an idea. :))
