I improvised the pattern for this chunky cabled earflap hat using Bernat Roving yarn. The color is called “bark” … it’s a warm brown color that I think will match well with lots of things this winter. I originally began the project with my husband in mind … although now that it’s finished I’m not sure whether he’ll think it’s too “girly”.
Considering this is the first time that I’ve done a project without using a pattern, I’m pretty happy with the overall result. If I end up making another one in the future I might move the earflaps back a couple of stitches. I noted my “pattern” on my ravelry page for next time (or for others’ inspiration).
