Andrea designed this hat after listening to many of her customers (lovely ladies over the age of 45) at Apple Yarns. Their ears were cold but other than that they were hot. I have also learned over the years that women with short hair like their face framed and a rolled brim hat does just that. First Fall has been a best seller at Apple Yarns for those two reasons; stylish but it can be worn on your own summer day.

Pattern can be knit in either a worsted/aran weight (gauge: 4 1/2 sts/inch on size 9) or a bulky weight (gauge: 3 sts/inch on size 13).
