When the wind is cold and the nights are long, there is nothing like a hat that is fun to wear, and keeps your head and ears warm. Checkerboard is just that hat! A deep, ribbed cuff folds double to cover your ears and fit snuggly around the head during as you swoop down your favorite Olympic ski slope.

This is the perfect pattern for using up leftover yarns, as well as a great project for the knitter ready to try stranded knitting.
