The color isn't very true in this photo, mostly because of the blinding light reflected off the snow on the ground. Note the ice-covered tree behind her--still waiting for the thaw from our ice storm earlier this week. The hat is actually a pale baby pink, which she's suddenly very "into" wearing right now. (Last year pink was on her "out" list.)
Anyway, the yarn is a super-soft, 50% silk, 50% wool by Reynolds, called Rapture. I wanted to be sure the hat wasn't itchy in any way, or she wouldn't be wearing it.
As for the size of the hat, I did decrease the stitches when casting on and decreased a few rows as well. I actually think I could have kept the row count, as the hat seems a little short to me. She insisted, however, that it was the perfect size, so I left well enough alone. And she's been happily wearing it ever since it came off the needles!

Very cute hat, and the photo's terrific with the ice-covered trees! Pretty color, too. Hope to see you at the next KnitNight Leslie!
