The other day was opening day for gun season and my husband asked me for a warm hat that would be visible to other hunters. So I worked up this beanie for him in a night :) I shared the pictures in a crochet group and was asked to share the pattern so here it is! A woman commented calling it "the perfect man hat" so I figured that is what I'd call it! Enjoy!
