Another commission!

A coworker of mine commissioned me for a hat! In order to keep the costs of the hat down, I chose to use Knitpicks Bulky weight Brava acrylic yarn. I'm quite pleased with the over all texture of it and think that it is soft enough to make this hat from. While not being my first choice yarn-wise, it has been a delight to work with and hopefully, my coworker will agree.

I anticipate that I will charge probably $25 for the hat... meaning that I'll have made a profit of about 10 dollars.... which is including the difference in the yarn, plus shipping and handling. Absolutely. Brilliant!

edit: a picture of the finished product. I'm quite pleased with it.. I mean, the pattern wasn't particularly difficult. It's a floppy hat. It's soft. It's a nice gray color (and will go with everything.)
In addition, it only took one skein of yarn, so I can make a few more hats and try a different set of patterns too.. maybe a modded hurricane hat theme. I like the spiral and it would be fun on this bulky yarn- I'd still make a floppy hat, though.
