I really like your hat. I'm going to have to make one up. I make and donate hats to the Big Brothers/Big Sisters and they will love this one. Thanks for sharing.

I saw a girl in the movie theater just three days ago who was wearing a hat like this, with the raised ribs. I thought it was unusual, and was wondering how to make a hat like it, and now here's the pattern! Excellent!
