Unique construction, fair isle look yarn and lots of embellishments make this hat so much fun to knit. The hat is cast on and worked down to earflaps, then stitches are picked up and worked to the top. One skein of the suggested yarn makes the hat pictured. Beginners and advanced knitters alike will enjoy making this hat for all ages! The pattern gives details for dk and worsted yarn. Crocheted edging, knitted or crocheted flowers, and a little embroidery are great options for this adorable hat. The sky is the limit for yarn colors or go with a heathered yarn for a classic look. Even change up the colors to please the guys in your life!
