Fuzzy Logic: Ribbed-entrelac hat

[fuzzyjay]

I actually finished a garment. OK, it's a hat. Not so big. Such is my attention span.

I'm making another one now. This one is a tad small, but I ran out of yarn. I decided to use red to finish it off, and I think it looks kind of neat. It's a feature, not a bug!

This hat is created from entrelac squares that are done in ribbing. I used 3 by 3 ribbing because it's quite stretchy and I didn't want to swatch or anything. I figured with the stretchiness the hat would fit my head no matter what.

I'm writing up a pattern for it. More pictures of this on my Flickr account, and more info at my Ravelry page (user name "yarnover").

Is it warm? i.e. is Yarn as warm as whatever synthetic material my current hat is made out of?

This is made of wool. Wool has some interesting properties. One of them is that wool retains its insulating properties even when it is quite wet.

However, this hat is not knit very tightly, so it's not as wind-proof as a hat made of felted wool or some other material might be.
