I didn’t even want to tell you the name of the pattern because I hate puns just that much, but it didn’t seem fair to the designer. Plus, it wouldn’t be consistent with my usual style of post, which would drive me nuts.
More nuts than a pun? I couldn’t decide with certainty. Provisionally, yes, so I have told you the name.

I found it difficult to get a good photo. Here are my two best efforts, one lit by a lamp, and one lit by the sun:
The pattern was well-written, the result is exactly as advertised, and I hate the fit. I can kind of make it look okay if I turn the front up and wear it a bit like a cloche. And, yes, I know it’s a men’s hat, which may well be why it doesn’t fit my non-man-sized head, but I didn’t originally make it for myself so I’m doing the best I can with what I’ve got. None of the men in the house wanted it, you see. It’s not a bad hat, just not their style.
Anyway, there it is, and it’s done in Madelinetosh Tosh DK. The shade is Thunderstorm.
