Men  wanted me to make more hats for them.  When able I sell in the park in front of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.  This pattern came from a 1940 Woman's day Crochet book.  This special  yarn was purchased on a trip to the Wool and Sheep festival in Rhinebeck, NY.  It is a 100% merino wool  Head sizes 21 inches to a snug 22.5 inches .  Hand was cold.  One of a color.
