Striped toboggan

Here is my first striped toboggan. Just finished it this morning.  There's a little break in the first navy stripe at the join.  I don't know why this happened.  Do you?

So I made my first adult-sized hat yesterday.  Nice to have a useful skill.  With the gauge swatch it took maybe 7 hours. 

I told each of my parents individually that the math you have to do to customize the hat is kind of a challenge and they both basically said I'm glad you could use your education for that.  Kind of embarrassing - really it's pretty easy.
