Bonne Marie's Felted Bucket Hat
Before....
And after....
It's still drying (as evidenced by the towel stuffed in it) so I can't model it yet officially. I would definitely make another one of these - it was a quick and fun knit.
Next time I make this, I would not use chunky yarn though as this made the brim a little too thick (as it's knit double stranded) and a little floppy - I used Peruvian Highland Chunky knit to the gauge recommended. I would just use straight worsted weight next time as the directions state. I usually am a big directions-follower but this time I lived dangerously as I wanted to make it in chocolate and I had the chunky yarn on hand. It may be OK when it fully dries though.

Great hat! Can't go wrong with Bonne's designs. A very Happy New Year!
That is so cute! I've seen that hat at ChicKnits. It's a great design, and I love the way it looks in the brown.
