Sometimes, all a gal needs is a good wool hat in fairly neutral colors, something with a folded brim and some contrast. This was supposed to be such a hat, until my loving partner realized that my hat went over his ears all the way. Then it was all a guy needed…

What you need:
?Gauge of 22 sts/4” and approximately 28 rows/4” in charted pattern
?16” circular needles and double pointed needles (DPNS) to get gauge
?Worsted weight yarn, in two colors - I used Lion Brand Fisherman’s Wool in brown for the main color, and Briggs & Little Softspun in ecru for the contrast color.
