This is a really clever design for a hat. First off, its worked from the bottom up. It probably could be worked top down, but theres really no need since the pompon covers up any hole at the crown. I love how the two colors are interlaced and the open texture around the base of the hat. The crown is still solid, so theres plenty there to keep you warm. With the added earflaps, it almost looks Peruvian.

A couple of photos that are zoomed in on the hat showing more fine details need to be included with this pattern. List of materials looks like it is complete and includes all the necessaries such as hook size, materials, sizing, gauge, and special notes included. Main instructions are easy to follow along and understand.

I made this hat and showed it to some friends. I asked if they would buy a hat like this. They said only if it had a fleece lining on the inside. I live in Wisconsin. So, is there anybody out there who can elaborate on how I could add a liner under this? The hat has to remain stretchy.

When clicking on the 'get pattern' my computer opened a new tab and I scrolled down to the image of a booklet with the 15 patterns, clicked on the download link beside it and was able to save it no problems.

Clicking and clicking and going from one advertisement to the other! Why do you make the pattern impossible to find? Why not tell us to go to the Lion Brand site and find it there? Is it there? Hell NO! Just went through all of the sign-in rigmarole and typed in the entire name of the pattern only to be told that it does not exist. Phooey on this.
