Jester Hats

I finished one of these hats for Biscuit last month I just need to add the pompoms, but waiting on my pompom maker to come in the mail. I made a few of these a few years ago when I first came to Sweden.  The book is norwegian but translated into swedish, and at the time I couldn't read or speak swedish but with some help I was able to knit out of it easily.  Now I can read swedish with no trouble so it is even easier.  I made this one with mostly red  and plan on making 3 more for my friend's 3 sons in red, blue and green.  I started the blue one today.  I plan on using the long circular needles and magic loop technique so I can do it more comfortably.  The top is a bit tricky it is suppose to be done back and forth but on Biscuits I did it around.  It didn't look all that good but now I am going to also use the magic loop on that part too it should make it easier.  I am knitting these in a superwash wool yarn, the yarn is nice to work with and soft, only problem was the colours weren't all that great at the local yarn store.
