Alli-san Hat

I owe my friend Allison a favor for her doing the message at Worship Team instead of me.  I was originally going to make her cookies, but I think knitting is much more fun.  I did mess up on one row, but I was watching Black Butler!  I think that's a good reason.  Please tell me you didn't even notice it until I pointed it out and, in fact, it helped add visual interest to the hat.  Anyway, this is what I came up with.
