KnitWhits Ripley Hat

I finally finished the Ripley hat that I started a couple of months ago, and talked Makenna into modeling it for us. This pattern seemed a little cumbersome and time-consuming at first, but the further up I got, the quicker it seemed to go. I made this hat in CMR colors, green and gold, but I think this would be really fun using bright colors on all the "tuck" stitch rows. I need to dig through my stash and see what crazy colors I can come up with.
