Red hat with black stripe

Red hat with black stripe

This is one of the three that I've made for my brother to choose from. I doubt very highly he'll pick this design since it turned out very feminine. He's 19, gotta watch his rep you know! This is made in stockinette stitch. This pattern would be great felted! This hat is rather large, so if you want a smaller hat, adjust accordingly.
