The nice thing about these are that you can roll it up or down, depending on the weather! They are about the perfect hat, I think. Next time, make it a bit longer, so you can really roll it all the way down over your head! Excellent work! You did wonderfully well for your first hat. Can't wait to see what else you come up with!

Excellent work! You did wonderfully well for your first hat. Can’t wait to see what else you come up with!

It probably would look more like a men's hat if I put the hem in, but I think I'll leave the roll, at least for now. If I change my mind later, I can always sew the hem in then.

If you are interested in trying a turned under hem, the Coriolis socks in Cat Bordhi's New Pathways for Sock Knitters gives directions - (it's pretty simple - purl a row on the right side then continue knitting in stocking stitch for about an inch. That provides a place to turn the edge to the inside where it can be tacked down. On the sock it gives a nice clean finish. For your hat though, I really like the roll - on knitty.com the half-dome hat has a curled edge - look at it and you will see how nice it looks. Cheers and keep on knitting.

The rolled edge sweetens the whole thing. Honey, that is the cutest derned hat in the world and I can easily see it resting on my granddaughter, ella’s, pretty little head.

Is it for an adult or for a child? I'm also catching up on your posts. You are back here regularly, I'm happy to see, now that the university is behind you--for now. Rain predicted here tonight--and snow in the mountains. Tell me there is no global warming. Hey, I love this hat! Is it for an adult or for a child? I’m also catching up on your posts.

Definitely keep the rolled edge. It makes the hat! There'll be plenty of time for a hemmed edge in another project. Very cute! (Popping over from the glb knit list.)
