New stitches for the new year

going to incorporate this muted green into the hat ~ beret

Started a hat to try to learn some new stitches. Here is my first attempt at a V-shaped stitch. I don't think it is right just yet. I did a combo of both stitches from this guide here.  I was inspired to do a textured green hat because I saw this cutie from The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe movie:

I love the color and pebble texture of this mossy green hat she is wearing and the jacket is super adorable too. Rounded collars, piped plaids, and mossy green wool yarn added to my 2012 wish list.
