For the Love of Hats

All I can say is that I really love this hat pattern, as evidenced here and here in previous posts.  And, of course, here:

When I was making this one, little M came up to me and asked:  "Granna, what are you making?"  I told her I was making a hat.  She responded by asking, "Are you making it for me?  You know purple is my faaavorite color."
