Matt's New Hat

Over on my day to day blog I have a post about the new jacket Matt just got. After some thought and talking to a crafty cousin of mine, I decided to crochet him a hat to go with his new coat. Our fall wind here is always a cause for my family to get ear infections so even when its a "warm" day, a light hat that will cover your ears is most needed.

The more I thought about the hat the more I thought of how to do it, and how I wanted it to look when I was done. I am pleased to say that I only ripped it out once for design flaws. I wish I had written down the pattern!
