Helmet Head

 

On a visit to John Lewis I saw a really great pattern leaflet for hats using chunky wool and that too on straight needles. The patterns suggested using Sirdar Kiko SuperChunky Yarn and I did see it in the store and bought the yarn as well as the pattern. 

I really enjoy making and wearing hats and this one was really a great one to try out ear flaps as well as shaping the top part of the hat. Due to the superchunky yarn it was really a quick knit. I am going to give the other patterns a try as well and update the blog soon. This hat  is a great one for cold and wet winters and I really love how warm my ears are in this hat.
