Hats for Grandad

It's the first time my Dad has asked me to knit something for him.
The latest round of chemotherapy has made his hair fall out.
I have knitted two hats for me, one warm for outdoors and one cotton for indoors or when it gets warmer outside.
I used my little Miss T to model them. Of course they are to big for her, they are a perfect fit for my Dad.

The first one is knit with Belle Organic Aran by Amy Butler. It's a lovely merino, cotton mix. The stripes are done with Noro Silk Garden. I used the Turn a Square pattern. I knit the hat exactly like the pattern describes.
The second hat is knit with Debbie Bliss Ecobaby and I used the Seeds of Courage pattern as a base (ravelry link). The pattern is written for Aran yarn, I recalculated the pattern and cast on more stitches. I also increased the row count. I used a little over one ball of yarn.
My Dad seems to like this hat a lot and has been wearing it.
