The Huffie scarf I made (posted in my thread) was actually started for this challenge, but I lost interest in the scarf for so many months that I decided to start a new piece for this! Just finished it today =D

I knitted this hufflepuff yellow beret for my sister (am planning on adding an applique flower... we'll see how that goes, hah!):



Forgive the crummy quality, I had to use my webcam. Anyway, got the hat pattern from the lady at the crafts store, used circular needles (5mm for the top bit and 4mm for the brim).

Erm, I think it was cast on 110 stitches, knit in the round til about 4 inches then start decreasing (knit 20, then k2tog for first row. Every consecutive row til the close was knit til the last 2 stitches before the marker, then k2tog). For the brim, purled one row and then 1 knit and 1 purl for ten rows and finished it off with an elastic bind off. Simple enough right? It's my first attempt at making a hat!
