Wind on the Prairies

This hat was inspired by the winds on the prairies, whether its blowing across the summer fields or drifting the snow during the long winter months.
For a fitted look with a little slouch on top, continue with US 13 (9mm) circular needles. For a slouchier style switch to US 15 (10mm) for the body of the hat. Although with the smaller needles this hats still stretches to fit the larger heads, like in my family, as a fitted beanie.
