VERY QUICK KNITTING PROJECT!
Have a hard time finding men's patterns? Well here's a Men's hat you'll like to knit and he'll love to wear (You'll want to wear it, too)!
Note: All humans were out of the house when I photographed this, so I used my friend "Cheeky Charlie" as a model. On a human, this hat fits the head, if you like the loose part at the top (like on Charlie), just knit it a bit longer.
The yarn I used was even designed just for guys. What makes a good men's yarn? Good colors and soft yarn. Linus yarn from Knit One, Crochet Too fits the bill. This randomly self-striping hats comes in great colors made just for men and has the soft feel they love.

Love the hat! Since I am a fan of magic loop, I'd probably start on shorter circs and just go to longer circs and do magic loop at the end of the hat. I think my son would love this hat! Thanks!!
