This is absolutely my favourite hat at the moment. The integrated double hem makes it both very warm and very comfortable.

The generous slouch, again makes it very warm but also is very forgiving of big hair and all sorts of hair does.

I think it looks elegant on almost any shaped face but, if knitted in ‘Man’ colours/textures, can also look rugged.

The tucked stitch pattern is amazingly simple, effective and well explained.

Those of you who knit for profit, particularly those of you who knit tirelessly for good causes, are absolutely welcome to upload/pin/post/sell for profit, any of your knits from this pattern with my blessings.
