Knitted Hat with Pompoms

Here is a hat I made while hanging around campus, waiting for people to come back from October break and while watching many movies. I think it took me three movies' worth of time to make this hat. It is knit in the round without decreasing, the top is stitched together in a straight line, and there are pompoms sewn on the ends. I happily finished this hat on the evening when people returned from break, so the hat made the rounds of all the assembled heads while we took pictures. This hat now belongs to my friend Deirdre. I feel that I must give away most of my knitted things, because I have too many as it is. I have no problem with it, however, as knitted things make fantastic gifts, at little cost to me besides the labor.
