Knitting: Big Herringbone Hat test knit

I recently had the opportunity to test-knit this hat pattern for the designer.

If you know me, you'll know that orange is not my usual color. However, my casual winter coat is orange, and I wanted a hat to go with it. I love the dramatic herringbone design on this, and it's doubly-warm since it's a stranded (colorwork) pattern.

If you're interested in the pattern, it's for sale on Ravelry here: Big Herringbone Hat by Ingrid Aartun Bøe.
