Knitting Today: Swiss Darning or is it Duplicate Stitch?

 Recently I knitted a hat for a grandson.  I knitted in his initials in a circle all around the hat.  I knit a hat for his brother but thought I would try Swiss darning.  I had heard it was easy.  Well, I have found out that the answer to that is--yes and no!

 

Here is the hat in a box ready to send.  (Under that hat is a pile of potpourri bags with one Cadbury egg in each bag.,,a last minute idea since I had the bags handy.)

You can see that the Swiss darning is not stellar...but I bet our grandson will be able to distinguish this had from his brother's hat!
