Torture Hat Complete

Finished my therapy hat last night. When I started the hat I could only manage a few stitches at a time, but it improved over time. By the time I finished I could manage knitting for maybe 5 minutes at a time. Next attempt will be socks.

The hat design itself started out as a simple seed stitch pattern but it looked a bit boring so I added a ridge just by doing a few rows of purl and then moved into a straight stockinette. I knitted an inch or so around before starting to reduce. When I finally got to the end I wasn't sure how to finish it off and ended up doing several inches of I-cord and then ending it off with a little leaf made with simple increases and decreases. I figure if it doesn't look good on a head it will make a nice tea cosy.
