The fronts are mostly plain st st too, with just a bit of cable to keep them interesting. I'm working on the button bands now. This is knit with cotton angora, as recommended. It's super duper soft, as advertised, but the yarn reviews all warn that it gets fuzzy with wear. I guess I'll wait and see when it comes time to block the pieces.

The hats are absolutely darling!
Love the idea of a cotton and angora sweater - yummy! Are you doing the "March Sweater Madness" as well?
