Miss Babs' Kunlun for the Boy!

I picked up a skein of Miss Babs' Kunlun yarn at Rhinebeck two years ago and finally got around to using it a few months ago.  I did a pretty simple little hat, but this was the first time I tried a waste-yarn cast-on and tubular bottom hem.  I really like the stretchyness and the softness of the bottom edge but I'm not sure I love the look of the rolled bottom edge.  It loses the clean smooth finish, but I'll definitely do it again when called for.


And, here I am in my first knit hat with my boy in the first hat I knit for him.
