After finishing the pumpkin hat, I put it on and took it for a trial run. Part-way through walking around, fingers firmly held by toddling baby, the hat fell down over my eyes. Stopped, pushed it back, and the same thing happened again. So I've decided to give it to a friend who can wear it without 1) looking pumpkin-esque and 2) forehead slope issues.
That aside, I loved the pattern, so I hunted for some slightly finer-gauged yarn. Enter Rowan Felted Tweed in dark green.

It is knitting up beautifully. I really like how the pattern stitches appear. Most importantly, it fits my head without being either too snug or falling off. I really must thank the ladies of Wild and Wooly in Lexington for their expertise. This hat is turning out perfectly.
