This pattern is based on a design for a sewing pattern created by Morgan Donner, which was in turn based on a style of hat seen in several portraits dating from the 16th century.

Many winter hats have a band that fits snugly around the ears, which can be uncomfortable for those who wear glasses or have piercings, and other hats fail to cover the ears at all. The Morgan Hat offers a comfortable and practical solution. Its pointed design forms a cup around the ears without pressure, and it has a cute, history-bounding style.
