Needles: 5mm
Yarn: Knitpicks Wool of the Andes in Dove Grey and Black
Mods: Basically, I knit two of them. I eliminated the hem, and instead made it totally reversible- one side grey with a black 'stache, the other side black with a grey 'stache. In order to provide a seamless look on both sides, I kitchener stitched the final hem together. This gives the cowl/neckwarmer a lot of extra warmth on really frosty
days, plus a little moustache versatility.
Next up, we have the Duck Duck Goose hat designed by Eliza Toser, who is working on drafting a pattern. This was a combination of test knit and fulfilling a request for my friend (and model) Monica who wanted a white hat. It was also knitted on 5mm needles, in Berroco Vintage yarn.
The hat knits up quickly and beautifully, and would really look it's best in a variegated yarn. The daisy stitch would highlight a lovely handpainted yarn perfectly, and the slightly rolled brim and slouch are really flattering for the wearer. I love this hat! Will definitely make another.

i love both of these projects!
i think the kitchener stitch is a true test of love. the more you love someone, the more you're willing to kitchener stitch for them! i still mostly try to avoid it...
The hat has the perfect amount of slouch!

Ha ha, that incognito is so funny! And the hat is really pretty. I think I want to see of I can pull off the slouch hat look.
The slouchy hat is so pretty! I love the stitch pattern on it.
I super love that hat.
My eyes will keep open for that knit.
Double the stache, double the fun :D
Wow what a productive day for you!!
I love the mustache. that is too freaking cute I think I might have to make one for myself when I'm boarding.
thanks for sharing the hat, I've added to my queue, I love the pattern swirl.
Great hat and cowl. Love the colors too.
Both turned out wonderfully! The mustaches are cracking me up.
That Incognito is awesome!! I love that you thought about "moustache versatility". :)
And the hat is really beautiful. The rolled brim is lovely!
Nice job on your projects. I've gotta learn to take on some of those smaller projects once in a while. Need some instant gratification every now and then.
Great projects.
Beautiful hat pattern and I love incognito, makes me smile every time I see one.
That cowl always cracks me up! The hat is lovely--it has the perfect amount of slouch.
I love that incognito! I love the hat too, but I can never pull off a hat :-(
The Incognito is really cute! Very nice white hat! I admire you for blogging about other projects during the Ravelympics!
I love both of them! The incognito is hilarious. One does need versatility.
