FO: Reverser

This is not my dad (obviously. Maybe not obviously, I don’t know. But in any case, my dad is much less plastic and only slightly more talkative! Love you dad!)
Pattern: (name, author, source) Reverser by Woolly Wormhead from “Going Straight” [My Ravelry Project Page]
Size(s): (to fit, finished size) To fit my dad’s 22/23″ head
Yarn: (name, fibre, weight, colour) King Cole Fashion Aran (acrylic/wool) aran-weight yarn in Granary (#89)
Needles: (size, material, style) 5 mm aluminium circular (used for flat knitting)
Knitting style: (for stitch patterns) Combination
Modifications: None.
Notes: Really great pattern from Ruth (as usual) and I had no problems with it. It’s a fantastic men’s/unisex pattern and I would have knit this in a day if I hadn’t got the deadly lurgy on Friday and thought I was going to collapse/die and spent most of the day lying down in a darkened room (literally). I didn’t die, and I managed to finish the hat!
This is the same yarn I knit my dad’s Gansey in and my Strawberry Joe hat (also from the Going Straight book). It’s a fairly work-horse yarn and I expect it to stand up quite well to my dad’s head!
