A big green hat…
More specifically, different people wearing my Big Seed Stitch Hat with Pom Pom, a free pattern located here.
I knit this hat during last year’s high school soccer season. Soccer Chick was mortified when she spied me wearing it during one of her games. I managed to get a photo of myself without completely revealing my face (safety on the blog, ya know):
Despite Soccer Chick’s insistence that I never wear the hat in public, I continued to tote it to the games. The yarn, Lion Brand BIG Solid, had been a gift from a KnittingHelp Christmas Swap. The hat is as warm as it looks. The pom pom is as hideous in real life too. This was before I had learned how to properly make a pom pom.
This year, I began taking pictures of Soccer Chick and Rooster’s high school games and posting pictures on a Shutterfly share site. I continued to tote the hat to the games in case I forgot one of the other ones I’ve since knit up.
Someone saw my hat and wanted to put it on.
I snapped his picture (he’s a good sport):
After I took this picture, a student insisted that I allow her to wear the hat to keep her warm. Of course, I was happy to oblige…
On the season went. The hat traveled everywhere with me, as did the courage to ask people to put it on for a quick click of the camera. Most people wanted to keep it on, though. That’s how comfy it is.
The hat was spied at a tournament the team attended in December…
The above guy and the gal pictured below are siblings…each play on their respective teams at the school and were attending each others’ games…
And the school’s principal, who has been attending the latest playoff games…
You already saw the picture of the principal (above) with a district administrator…
During last night’s game, which Soccer Chick’s team won 5-1, I scored three photo ops:
An enthusiastic fan…
A teacher at the school…
And last, but not least, the school resource officer who also attends after-school activities…
I wonder who will be asked to wear the hat at Tuesday’s game…
