Boyfriend hats for cancer patients

To stay on the hat theme, here are two knits I finished ages ago, but never remembered to blog about them. I do think they are pretty enough to have their own post, though, don't you think?

 

In fact they were knitted last summer to support a little charity action called 100 Beanie Drive, and currently they are warming the heads of cancer patients in Australia!

Bright hats! Very bright hats!

I've made a few hats lately, just for fun and to get something quick and easy on the needles.

 

The first one is my own creation, it's a slouchy hat with moss stitch, and the yarn was called Extra Merino Premium by Schachenmayr. It's adult size so I could keep it myself, but I think I will pass it on at some point.

I'm a sucker for vintage yarns

Wolle-Seide from Busse

... and Busse yarns from Nördlingen (where I have family) is one of my favourites.

 

The last Busse yarns I got were these lovely brown wool-silk blends - made in the BDR (so they have to have been made pre-1990!). I usually wouldn't knit with silk, but I might make an exeption here.

 

Any ideas what I could make with it?
