How a hat makes you feel is what a hat is all about. – Philip Treacy

No one enjoys a hat more than my son-in-law. Rain or shine, sun or snow, Stevie is never without something to cover his “chrome dome.” He’s a happy fellow with a smile and a conversation for everyone. I knit him hats every year for gifts, but keeping up with clever but classic hat ideas for him sometimes has me wishing for simple lines and easy knitting.
