"Business in the front, party in the back": The Mullet Hat

I usually don't like wearing winter caps because I have "big hair" that doesn't rebound well from being squashed down. However, sometimes I do leave the house without showering or otherwise primping, so the state of my hair is of little concern to anyone. During those times, I squash a hat over the mess and don't give it a thought.

This here's a "squash" hat. It's just long enough to cover the ears as long as I don't try to pull my hair into a ponytail.

I adapted it from the Lion Brand yarn "Quick Cabled Hat" (you have to register to download the free) pattern and somehow missed that it had a longish neck flap in the back. When I realized that the hat had a mullet, I had to edit that out.
