Deathflake for my Girl!
I finally finished and gave my girl her "Deathflake" Hat last night at our annual family celebration. It was so freshly off the needles that I didn't have time to block it before I gave it to her, and now she won't take it off, so it's not going to get blocked for quite some time!
Yarn: Berroco Pure Merino, 2 balls Black, 1 ball white
Pattern: Munchkin, rewritten for the smaller gauge with this chart AND some latvian braid for detailing (my first!)
I found out about the chart when Stephanie tweeted about it earlier this fall and knew right away that it was destined for holiday knitting. Then when studying one of my co-workers Christmas Sotckings I was smitten by her Latvian braid details and I decided that had to be part of it as well.

Very nice! I really like the way the latvian braid frames the face, and the pom pon that isn't :-)
