| Robin by Kim Hargreaves |
The pattern is Robin from Kim Hargreaves book 'Thrown Together'. The colours of the Yorkshire Tweed are Cheerful and Graze. My Ravelry project page can be found here: tattiebogle's Robin
I live in Scotland and the winters here are cold. In fact so are the Autumns, Springs and most of the Summers. I'm often to be found moaning about having a cold head but for some reason I don't own a coat with a hood or have a hat I want to wear.
I keep thinking I should wear this one because I knitted it from wool I think is lovely but somehow it never seems the right time. I think, rather like not being a shawl person, I'm not a 'tammy/beret' person either.
If anyone thinks they might be and would like to test the theory by trying out this one please leave a comment on this post by the midnight on the 31st January. If more than one comment is received I will pick a winner at random and post the name of the winner here soon after.
* It should be noted that I have a big head so I added some stitches in to take account of this so it's a relaxed fit rather that snug.

I love the Tammy you have knitted and would be honoured to wear it:)

This looks like a wonderful hat. I love the colour combo, and I am a huge fan of tweed yarn. I'd be thrilled to win, thank you for your generosity to donate this creation!
I love the colors in this beautiful hat. I have a big head, too.
I have lived to Glasgow for one year. It is cold indeed. I am now moving to Liverpool but I am pretty sure that I will find it cold there too after one and a half year in Greece. Count me in!

I didn't think I was a beret person either, but then I got one and suddenly realized they are much more flattering on me than regular hats. Must be the shape of my head or something! But I only have the one, and your teal tweed is so lovely. I'd love to wear it!
I share your big head problem! :)
I love the colour and style of this hat, thanks for the opportunity to be able to have it!
