Made to fit the following requirements: dark green, warm, with a long, fold-up-able brim.

CO 96 using Italian tubular cast-on (excellent video here: http://knitfreedom.com/cast-ons/tubular-italian-cast-on- got it right on the first try!)

Hope he likes it… And if he doesn’t, I’m sticking a pompom on top and wearing the hell out of it!

Finished this in one day (lots of knitting on the T). Good, mindless knit. If I made this again (and I probably will), I’d cast on 100 and decrease with 5 spiral legs at the top. Cascade 220 is perfect for this hat.
