My sister is turning 19 on Monday, so I wanted to make her something.  Her request was a “funky” hat — “You make a lot of hats,” she said, “but they’re all plain.”  So here was my attempt at funkiness.

It was difficult to keep the shape even while I was making this little pattern, and also the fact that all the yarns were different types and weights didn’t help so much.  I think it looks ok though!

Here are the ear-flaps — a key part of the request.

And now I am the elf!
