Using up yarn

I don't have a problem donating yarn but when I found a hat pattern that uses two strands of sock weight yarn, I decided to see how quickly it would work up and whether or not I liked it. It was a few night's of knitting while watching TV and the hat feels great. My younger son claimed this and another one in black and beige. 

This one is a slightly different rib with a few cables thrown in. I think the color more than the cables make it seem more feminine. I'll either find someone who can use it or will start a donation of knitted hats. This style doesn't look good on me.
