I originally designed this hat as a gag gift for my dad, but he got so many compliments on it that I knew I had to make more and write up the pattern! The chart was modified from the fornicating deer chart by Anne Rutten. This hat is knit seamlessly in the round from the bottom-up and includes a folded brim for extra ear warmth and a clean finished edge.
