Laura's Loop: Hat to Match

I had hardly cast off for my Long Lovely Mittens when I cast on for a Hat to Match. At the time, Purl Soho's stunning single-ply merino Line Weight was new to our shelves and new to me, and a pair of mittens, no matter how long or lovely, wasn't enough. I needed more yards under my belt, and as it turns out, I needed a matching hat for my head.

While I've never been one for precise matching and I've never worn a pantsuit or a sweater set, I have always greatly appreciated the air of elegance and femininity that lofts about a synchronized outfit. As I first tried on those Long Lovely Mittens , a feeling of grace washed over me, and I knew more was in store...

My Hat to Match may not be the tam that Queen Elizabeth would wear with long gloves, but then, I’m not Queen Elizabeth! The simple structure (and pattern!), the soft edge and slight slouch seamlessly slip into any sort of wardrobe, coordinated or not! -Laura
