The second pony tail hat has zoomed right along to decreases. And I have accidently discovered a new cozy murder mystery book obsession.

I am happier with this second version and the stockinette brim. I think it is a more substantial hat with a more “one size fits most” overall fit. I am going to copy the rapid decreases of the first hat ending with 2×2 ribbed ponytail opening. I think that stretchy opening will be multi hair style friendly.

As for my new book series, its only new to me. I have come to find out that the 80s TV show Murder Shew Wrote has an accompanying book series that is still making books today! This show is a favorite comfort show when I’m sick or overwhelmed. So my new book quest is to find and read as many of the 55+ of these books that I can find. The older ones are out of print but I’ll take what I can get.

Happy Knitting!!
