Offer: Basic "Boyfriend" Hat
Item Name & Description: Hand-knit rolled-brim "boyfriend" hat. Nice, basic, no-frills hat. Also suitable for non-boyfriends, including but not limited to girlfriends, spouses/partners, friends from work, parents, children, favorite dentists, yoga instructors, distant cousins abroad. And dogs.
Fig. 1 -- Dogs in hats. Bartleby (right) wearing an XL merino wool/alpaca blend hat knitted for my father-in--law. Buttercup (left) modeling a S/M cotton-acrylic blend hat intended for my 4 year-old nephew (who much preferred the box of rubber dinosaurs to the hand-knit hat. Go figure).
Fig. 2 -- Seller's "little" brother, trying on his nearly-finished merino wool/silk blend hat on Christmas morning.
Fig. 3 -- Finished hat from Fig. 2.
Starting Bid: $15 .
Notes: Winner should specify desired hat circumference (IN INCHES) and general color palette (ie. pinks/yellows/pastels, blue/terracotta/earth tones, black/green/bold tones). Exact colors will depend on availability at yarn store. Default yarns are cotton/acrylic blend for children, merino wool/silk blend for adults. PLEASE SPECIFY ANY KNOWN FIBER ALLERGIES or yarn preferences; please add an additional $5 to your final con-or-bust donation if you want some super-fancy silk-cashmere-angora-vervet blend yarn. Shipping included. Wait time = time it takes me to log enough Law & Order and M*A*S*H re-runs to complete one hat. Fabulous hat-modeling dogs not included.
