This project came about for several different reasons. The first s a family Christmas tradition. My husband's family has a tradition of exchanging family gifts each year a Christmas. Well I started out last year by crocheting hats for the family we had. To my surprise it was a huge success. Not to mention it ignited the rest of the family to want something from That Yarn Girl.
Needless to say, the family we had this year was excited and wanted hats. No problem! Except one problem: what to make for a teenage boy...? I was momentarily stumped, but never fear! Ravelry came through for me on this one! There is an awesome patter posted there for these hats. Luckily the teenager in question is a Utah State University fan, BONUS!
The hat I made for him became the envy of his dad, who asked if I could make him a hat like that for him. Of course I said yes. Then I realized my son's hat was too small, so of course he had to have one also!
So in honor of Utah State University (WAC Champions-it's a big deal!), I bring you Reversible Strands for Men! Enjoy!
