Finished Faroese
I finally finished the double knit Faroese hat. I love it! Double knitting (at least in my hands) isn't as even as regular stockinette, but I think it has more character. And this hat is WARM!
One fun aspect of double knitting is that it produces a reversible fabric. This hat is grey on one side and red on the other.
I took advantage of it being reversible to make a fold-up contrasting brim:
I think I'm going to have to wait until next winter to wear this outside. Four layers of wool over my ears is a bit much for April.

That is a great hat! I wouldn't pack the hat away for next year just yet though, despite the nicer weather we've been having lately. You just never know up here in the New England tundra...
Excellent, I love double knit hats! It looks great. You will be so toasty next year when you are farther north and colder!
Looks wonderful! And you will definitely use it a lot next winter.
reversible color changing hat! genius.. gotta make one of those next year. where'd you get the pattern?
thanks for sharing!
Holy mackerel! That is a truly awesome hat. :-) I even like both sides!
Crapola! That's one amazing hat!
so beautiful, and clever! I am sure it will be very useful next year.
I want to copy Carrie above and say "so beautiful and clever"! I also love the Latvian hat pattern that you have. That will definitely go on my "list of things to knit" for next fall!
You're good!

That looks really great. I could something warm like that in Vermont! You said the pattern was from a book of Faroese patterns? Is it by Marilyn Van Keppel, or something different? I'd love to get a copy of the book. :-)
