The Amanda Hat

This hat is a pattern adapted from my **Radiance Lace Headband** pattern, *(Amanda style)*, from One Planet Yarn and Fiber. The very creative Sonya of [In the Skein of Things][1] asked if the headband could be made into a hat pattern...and, guess what? It can! The yarn truly makes this hat **incredibly soft** and **warm** and the kettle dyed color **enhances the stitch pattern**. The model in the picture is my beautiful friend, *Amanda*, who the pattern is named after. If you knit one of these hats, please join the ["Amanda Hat Mania"][2] group on Flickr.com! **UPDATE:** **NEW** YouTube [Amanda Hat Tutorial][3]!! See my book, ***"Sleepy Eyes Knits: Dreamscape"***, to see a more beautiful and antiqued version of these photos. (The adorable model of this hat is [PandaPoison][4] on Ravelry if you wanted to send her a message.) *Happy Hat Knitting!* [1]: http://intheskeinofthings.blogspot.com [2]: http://www.flickr.com/groups/1202323@N20/ [3]: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1CP7w38Ess [4]: http://www.ravelry.com/people/PandaPoison
