Big Hat Little Hat

What to do when it is snowing and chilly and all you want to do is watch an old black and white movie? Knit! But I need a simple, no brainer pattern that won't be a distraction from the movie. I found this great rolled brim hat pattern at http://knitting.about.com/od/hatpatterns/p/roll-brim-hat.htm and went to work. I even had enough yarn left over to make an American Girl doll hat and scarf. Dolls get cold too! To make the hat I chained 40 and then followed the big girls' hat pattern. Of course I only made it tall enough for the doll. The scarf is chained 100 and then knit 2 perl 2 till it is about 2 1/2 to 3 inches wide. I did add a bit of fringe. All this from one ball of varigated yarn from Walmart. Diana
