Mom's "hat"

My mom asked me to make her a "hat" in the same style as this one from Vermont Country Store. I see that they call it an Ear Warmer Bonnet. Theirs is made from mohair, mom wants one in cotton. I would too.

So here's my version. Amy's modeling and taking the photos.





This "hat" is the prototype. The final version will be red probably. In making this I got to practice increasing, decreasing and picking out a pattern that would work with the number of stitches on my needle. I also learned how to make an i-cord. The one thing I still need to work on is finishing the i-cord. Binding off didn't work so well.
