Hunting hat for Dad

The Christmas gift blogging continues! ...with the Hunting hat I made for my dad. This was a specific request, lovely orange shade and all.

I began with Vickie Howell's Brimster, which was useful for making the brim but little else; her directions for the front of the hat made no sense that I could see, so I composed my own, and added ear flaps, then sewed in a thick fuzzy lining. I think he was really happy with it, even though he may never wear it where anyone but the elk can see. Happy Christmas Dad!
