Just a simple watch cap made with camouflage yarn for a little different look. Nothing fancy.

Very nice, I love the way variegated yarns create a pattern.

Simple is always good,

Simple is always good, especially when you already have pattern in your yarn. If you had a solid colour yarn, then you could use pattern in your stitches. It's usually not a good idea to mix the two -- as seen in your ribbing -- the pattern doesn't show itself as well.

I agree and normally I

I agree and normally I wouldn't have ribbed a variegated yarn, but I actually wanted it to look that way so the folded up bit would look different from the body of the hat. Kind of a contrasting section without changing yarn.

Beautiful and smoothly knit. The varigated yarn worked out really nicely in this hat.

It may be "nothing fancy,"

It may be "nothing fancy," but I still think it turned out fantastic!

I love how that bold dark brown stripe stands out among all the more varied sections.

Thanks. I thought it looked

Thanks. I thought it looked pretty cool and got a couple of comments on it tonight while wearing it. I guess sometimes simple is good. :D
