For this FO Friday, I've finished a hat!  It's yet to be named (suggestions are welcome!) but I'm really happy with how it turned out!

a colourwork hat knit with black yarn as the background and gradient yarn as the foreground.  The colourwork pattern is zigzags and squares, and the gradient goes from a deep red to a pale blue.
It started out of a Knit Picks/WeCrochet Design call.  Once I decided I wasn't submitting to that call, I figured this could be a self-published pattern!  It's worked on a *2.5 mm circular needle and I'm glad I went that small. I could have gone down to a 2.25 mm or even a 2 mm, but a) I didn't have one free, and b) I think it might have been a bit too dense. 

 Yarn is still stash, in this case, from my stash of Knit Picks yarn - the sparkly black is Knit Picks Stroll Glimmer in Black (now discontinued), while the Gradient is their *Chroma Fingering in "Candy Mountain" -  it's extras from a pattern that will be coming out in the summer, so, stay tuned for that too!

Once I can get this properly written up, the test knit will be up over on Yarnpond, so, keep an eye out here on the blog (or,in my design group on Yarnpond for the immediate notification) if you'd be interested in testing!
