Explanation of how this homework fits the prompt: This is a thick, wooly hat with a dark, moss-stitch brim, perfect for gently pulling over the head of a sleeping mountain troll to block his eyes from noticing any movement nearby. It will also cover his ears, muffling any sounds that might otherwise alert him to my presence, and it is nice and warm, so it will keep him happily, cozily asleep until it is removed.
