Icelandic Thistle Hat

In November, I had traveled to Iceland with Majes. While we were there we picked up some souvenir yarn, and I had a fabulous plan to make myself a hat to wear with my red coat.

Pattern: A Gift of Thistle by Tanis Gray (free)
Needle: US 5 - 3.75 mm
Yarn Supplier: The Handknitting Association of Iceland

I had forgotten how much I enjoyed doing colorwork. I am very pleased with how this came out, and I am plotting mitten options with the (planned) extra yarn.
