Chunky Funky Hat and Scarf

I was given 2 skeins of Noro Oimochan Multi, color #4. This was the thickest yarn I had ever seen. It looks like dreadlocks. I kept staring at this yarn.... loving it but not knowing what to do with it. I searched Ravelry for what seemed like hours looking for what this yarn was meant to be. I finally settled on a slouchy hat. I used this pattern.
It was a really easy pattern and because the yarn was so thick, it knit up in just a few hours. I used the leftover yarn to make a thin scarf.


Now I just need winter to hurry up... heck, I'd take fall right now if I could get it. It's going to be 94* here today. Maybe if I keep knitting winter wear, cool weather will show up. It's worth a try!
