I really like it! And I would have never known it was crochet based on that one side, you're right! I might have been confused when I flipped it over, though ...lol.
My favorite hat I knit for myself out of wool; but the last few times I wore it I got REMARKABLY itchy. I was worried I might be developing an allergy (I have approximately 947.3 allergies), so I was poking around the yarn store and asked if they grouped yarns by fiber, per chance. The lady said no, why? So I explained the newfound itch, and she was super helpful pointing out different fibers they had and said, "Don't worry, you won't be banished to Red Heart forever!" ...and I laughed. I use all sorts of different fibers for different projects (including Red Heart!), but I know some folks are really against acrylic.
