knitted hat from the Andes

This cute hat fits close around the head, and then it has a long, narrow tube at the top, ending with a tassel, similar to a hat knitster posted recently (and here).

The knitter apparently substituted colors, whenever the original color wasn’t enough. You can see it in the detail photo, in the lower, center diamond.

Of the hats we have, this has the coarsest gauge, measuring in at 12 stitches per inch.
