Green Bay Packers Hat



Since before the holidays, I have been struggling to create a Packers hat for my cousin. I was inspired while at the fire sale at Hilltop Yarn and bought two skeins of Lamb's Pride Worsted, one (o85) Lemon Drop and one (035) Pine Shadows for 50% off. Topher was very happy with Alex Zorn's Hot Head Hat, so I based this hat on her design, sized large and in Packer colors, which are also the Supersonics colors!
