This pattern came from a request for a viking hat. In an attempt to create a realistic hat, I developed a felted hat with sizes for men, women, and children.Three natural colors of wool are used for an authentic look. Each uses less than one skein of wool.

As with all felting, sizes may vary depending on each knitters felting process.

As my second written pattern, I would appreciate any comments on the pattern. If you find an error, please let me know, so I can correct it for future knitters.
