Horatio

Every year I run into issues when it comes time to make hats for the males in my family. My desire is for attractive yarn that is fun to work with and a pattern that won’t melt my face from boredom. Their desire is for a plain dark hat with a folded brim. How to make us both happy? Horatio was my solution. It’s plain enough for the menfolk in my family and includes the folded brim they want, but was still interesting enough for me to enjoy knitting it. The end result is a nautical watch cap that looks great on men and women alike without a lot of fuss or a lot of boredom.
