Working with Waves

I recently found a great pattern for wave hats.  I have attempted a couple of them.  The pattern for these is FREE and can be found at http://playinhookydesigns.blogspot.com/p/free-pattern.html .  She has some amazing stuff on there.  These were my attempts with the pattern.. and I am excited to experiment some more.

The second one I made for my husband...  he had been wearing the first one around the house because he liked how warm it was.  I thought it was a bit girly... so I went with one wave color and used the more guy-ish colors I had.
