A few weeks ago, my friend Sara and I were hanging out and talking about our yarn stashes - y'know, as one does - and the topic of a hat challenge came up. I had just finished some work knitting, and she was in between projects, so we decided to come up with some projects and a silly name featuring a boat pun (cause why not), and thus:
HATAMARAN 2016 was born!
Our challenge, if we chose to accept it:
5 hat patterns of our choice.
5 skeins of yarn each.
7 days.
Did we do it? HECK YEAH WE DID.
(I may or may not have gotten too big for my britches and cast on for an extra Hatamaran project, and theeeennnnn I might have been up until 2 am the night we finished because of my stunning brilliance and foresight... but we're not going to talk about that.)
And so, without further ado, here are the HATAMARANS: conveniently organized from least to most silly!

Looks like you two had a blast! I love all those hats-you guys had some great yarns to work with!
This is awesome! Your color palettes are so different but both work so well with the patterns you chose. I'm inspired!
Fun challenge!
What a fun challenge! So great to see your pattern choices. Your fingers must be burning after this week full of knitting ;-)
