I won't be knitting a hat a day, like Kristy, but I do want to make at least 10. RC at Rabies on my shoe is collecting hats from knitters on the East Coast to send to Kristy. She is also hosting a contest. The Hooks & Needles yarn shop is offering a 10% discount on yarn for the hats to local shoppers, and free shipping to those of us who aren't local. There is also a group on Ravelry called Kristys Hat Quest.
I just finished my first hat. I used Bernat Alpaca Natural Blends in Persimmon. The pattern is loosely based on this one, but I made several changes. I will try it again, and once I get it just right, I'll post the pattern. Thanks to my Mumble from Build-a-Bear for helping model the hat.

That is a really nice looking hat. What a wonderful project to make hats for those poor little children! If I were a fast knitter I'd love to participate but I'm not too skilled at it yet. :(
I like it to- it's a good thing it's not my size, or I'd want to keep it. :)
I made the hat in a day, so if you look hard enough there are some simple patterns on the 'net.
