Pat's January Hat

Elizabeth and I are knitting 13 hats in 2013.  We think we will donate them to the homeless in NYC but we will decide for sure by the end of the year after we've had time to consider all the options.

This is my January hat...I had to go to South Carolina unexpectedly at the beginning of the month and on my way out the door I tossed this yarn and size 7 needles in my knitting bag.  It's lucky I did as within a few days I needed a new knitting project.  I texted Elizabeth, describing yarn and needles, and she sent me back a very cryptic pattern.  Viola!  Thanks to Elizabeth, I've finished my first hat in 2013.
