Here is my completed cotton Habitat hat for John. I had trouble selecting a pattern and a needle size. I was almost to the crown decreases on Windschief and realized it was going to be too small. Habitat's cables will cooridinate nicely with Dryad's cables. I used my size 8 Addi Click Lace needles for the ribbing and changed to the size 9 tips for the body of the hat. I worked Norwegian purls between the cables to even out the purl stitches. I'm concerned about the pilling I noticed along the edge of the ribbing, but with cotton being such a short fiber, pilling is to be expected. At least John will have a hat to go with his scarf and all before the end of winter.

I love the cables. John is a lucky guy to have such a gorgeous set of hand knits.

I'll have to get a picture of him wearing the set. We've only had 2 cold days when he could wear them... :(
