I knitted a Melt The ICE hat out of Encore (20% wool/80% acrylic, machine washable).
It is fashioned after the Norwegian Resistance Hats from WWII, which were made and worn as a symbol of resistance against the Nazis. It became illegal to distribute or wear the hats.
I added 30 rounds after the ribbing/before the decreases... even then, was a little short in the crown for my huge (size XL motorcycle helmet) head.
So I gave it to a considerably smaller woman yesterday morning in the shipping office where they were reworking my load. She thanked me a BUNCH of times. LoL
