This winter hat is incredibly soft and as light as a feather.  It’s perfect for those chilly early winter days when you’d like to keep your head and ears toasty warm and also avoid ruining your hair.

If you’re a beginner at knitting hats in the round, you will love this pattern since it’s just a simple rib stitch the whole way through.  It’s a great way to practice those knits and purls!
