We Call Them Pirates hat by Hello Yarn, in Diakeito Diatasmanianmerino colors 729 and 727 (100% wool, 40g/130 yds) from the local ys. It took one ball of each color, with plenty left over.
Mods:
I didn't swatch first (ahem), which made the hat a little tight around the brim and (more than) a little short, so I added another row of skulls before decreasing, and instead of lining the hat I made a 1" 2x2 ribbing (my friend wanted to be able to pull the hat down around his ears). This helped with the tightness, too.
I like the finished product, especially since it's my very first two-color project. I did take pictures of this one before I gave it away.

Great hat, Shannah! I have been looking for this yarn in colors 123 and 127 and can't find it anywhere. Do you know where I could find it?
