Tip Top
I really should be telling you about all the other stuff (slippers, that little experiment in gauge, a book or two) that’s making progress in the background. But I’m not going to do that. I’ve been taken over by this purple hat and its reversible nature. It seemed dreadfully important that I come up with crown decreases that were every bit as reversible as the rest of the hat. I’m sure it’s immodest to say, but I think I nailed it.
Side A:
Side B:
It’s all so marvelous tidy even I am impressed. The Boy continues to profess his love for side A, and I continue to point out how much more entertaining side B is. I think the obvious solution is for me to make some matching mitts, which I will wear with side B out (the mitts will be mine because The Boy has not yet seen the light when it comes to the glories of fingerless mitts…something about them being itchy, which I totally do not understand). That, and to show off both sides of both things when I take pattern photos. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have some mitts to play with.
Love! if you plan on releasing, and if you need a tester… 100creations @ ravelry
I’m with Rachel on the testing part. I’d love to use some of my stash to try out these glorious stitches. Impressive work!

Love it! Both sides are beautiful but I think I love Side A more. The color of the yarn is gorgeous.
You are killing me!
This is absolutely awesome. I have loved the progress shots but managed to contain myself, but I just have to post and profess my love for what you have done here.
I think there needs to be a mobius-ish cowl so you can see both sides at the same time.
Man that’s an awfully nifty idea…I’m going to be all out of yarn when I finish the mitts, but wow would that be pretty. I’m wondering if it might be worth tracking down more (could be impossible…hand dyed from years ago from a small dyer…so likely impossible, but hmmmmm).
Hunter I think this is one of the best hats I have ever seen and one of the most beautiful purples. Everyone can find a shade of purple that looks amazing on them…so a double winner for sure.
Sweet hat! Love the cowl idea, too. Nothing wrong with a color coordinating, but not color matching, cowl 🙂
Wow love it, gorgeous! I love knitting hats and cables are my favorite!
I like the cables on side A, but like the top on side B best 🙂
Wow. Just, wow.
Fabulously ingenious!
