Hubby needs a hat too so I hope that I have enough of this yarn to make this hat. I'm using size 8 needles since another project is using the size 7 needles.
I went 8" for the body before decreasing to fit hubby better. I had to froggle it since 6" wasn't going to do it.
Needles: Size 8 circular
Yarn: Malabrigo Yarn Merino Worsted in Roanoke
