This knitting pattern has taken me years to perfect. At last, it is complete. Behold! The perfect hat! Flawless in every way, this hat is all of the following things:

1) The perfect length, (it covers the ear-holes and protects against the wind but does not slide down onto the eyes.)

2) The perfect squeeze, (this hat is neither so tight that it gives the wearer a headache nor so loose it feels like a helmet. This perfect hat hugs your ears just the right amount to make you feel secure and comfortable.)

3) The perfect thickness, (the hat is fleece lined to be flawlessly wind resistant, not the least bit itchy, and super warm.)

4) Perfectly Durable (the hat is not a floppy shapeless mess, it has integrity in its construction and because of this will last for many years to come, becoming the favorite hat of anyone who tries it on.)

If you have been seeking the perfect hat, look no further. This simple pattern is a blast to knit, and truly yields satisfying results. This is a one-size-fits-all adults hat.
