Howard The Aviator: This unisex fingering cable aviator hat could be used as a photography prop or warm up your little traveler during the autumn and winter.

The ear flaps and front flap are knitted flat, then everything is smoothly and effortlessly join together so you can continue knitting in the round.

Additional instructions are also given if you want to add straps (with or without button).
You could even line the hat with some polar fabric for more warmth.
