handknit hat : the piggy one

I am here for quick post : a handknit gift that I made for a friend of my daughter's who happens to LOVE pigs.  What to do, especially when you're a knitter?  Make her a piggy hat, of course.  





I made this hat rather quickly with some bulky yarn in my stash -- alpaca / wool blend, so it'll be warm, but it can't be machine washed.  As her mom is a sewer and crocheter, I'm hopeful that it'll be okay. :) Still, I prefer given machine washables when possible. 


Oink, oink! 

Notes:
Pattern : Oink a Piggy hat
