I showed you my La Mondiola wrap the other day and since I had to use a second skein of my colour B, I had quite a bit yarn left over. So much, that I knew right away that I want to knit something with it to match my wrap and here's my first attempt: a hat, that picks up the chevron pattern from the wrap.
After the brim I shaped the body of the hat with short-rows to create the chevrons and then used contrast colours for the stripes. I think it turned out quite nice and I'm really fond of how the decrease lines for the crown grow from the de- and increase lines.
I thnk this will be turned into a pattern pretty soon - but I still have yarn left, so I'll first try my hands on a pair of matching mittens. :)
