Lots of firsts in this project: first hat, first twisted German cast-on, first knit project in the round, first time using double-pointed needles towards the end (a clerk at the local knitting supply store was kind enough to help me with this part)
The fit is a bit looser than I expected. I'm pretty sure I got the gauge right, but I could have knit the Adult Small size instead of large. It still fits fine for the time being, although I might add some fleece lining on the band to make it extra toasty for my upcoming Iceland trip.
Pattern: Shiftalong by Drea Renee Knits
Main color: Whales Road (Malabrigo, sport weight)
Contrast color: Sailor Mercury (La Bien Aimée, DK weight)
