I finished my first hat. The first thing I knitted where size mattered (and don't let anyone tell you any different!).
I don't think it turned out too bad, a little rough up top, but I wasn't really using a pattern.
The band is seed stitch on size 10. The rest is stockinette in size 9.
Ripping out something on dpn is not fun.
This sucker is going to be warm.
