An Aviator’s Tour: This is the bulky version of the aviator pattern!

This aviator hat could serve as a photography prop or warm up your little aviator during the autumn/winter.
Neutral, funky colours or classical & timeless colours, it’s up to you to decide !

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