side view of hat

A hat knit in the round. The flaps keep ears warm. The point at the top looks whimsical. Very simple, quick knit. Finished March 2003.

Pattern: from Elizabeth Zimmerman's Knitter's Almanac

Pattern Modification: Knit additional rows around brim for a deeper hat. My gauge yielded a shallower hat than I liked so I had to graft in some additional rows.
