			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This new FREE pattern was worked up in one night, I had a couple skeins of <a href="http://kpixie.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=35_451_454">Spud and Chloe Outer</a> that I was dying to make into a new winter hat.</p>
<p>So here it is!</p>
<blockquote><p>. . . . . . . . . . <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/dls/midnight-knitter-designs/47799?filename=">download the pdf now</a> . . . . . . .</p></blockquote>
<p>NOTE: Spud and Chloe Outer is a very unique yarn, I tried working the same pattern with a merino yarn that knits up to the same gauge, but the hat came out very small.  So if you are making this hat and don&#8217;t want to use the yarn called for, do so at your own risk!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It has been BITTER cold up here in New England.  Tomorrow many schools are closed, no snow, just too cold&#8230;</p>
<p>Since I&#8217;ve been staying in, I finally finished writing up a new pattern!</p>
<p>Here is the hat in <a href="http://kpixie.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=35_304_390" target="_blank">Loop-d-Loop Tundra</a></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-515" title="chunky-tundra1" src="http://midnightknitter.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/chunky-tundra1-283x400.jpg" alt="" width="283" height="400" /></p>
<p>I&#8217;ve actually been wearing this hat for almost two months now.. get a lot of compliments when I&#8217;m out and about.</p>
<p>enjoy</p>
<p>A chunky hat to knit in one short evening!</p>
<p>Meant to be worn beret style, sitting loose at the top of your head. Tundra is a great new yarn from Loop-d-Loop, very similar to favorite Rowan Big Wool.</p>
<p>—UPDATE—<br />
Tundra is unique, it stretches easily.  If you substitute yarn, make sure to add a few more rounds to the cap.</p>
<p>yarn: 1 ball Loop-d-Loop Tundra</p>
<p>needles: US 11</p>
