Very basic Hubbie Hat

I found, somewhere deep down my stash, a skein of bulky yarn : Tiziana by Lang Yarns (50% wool and 50% acrylic). I bought it once because of its beautiful colours. Okay, I'm not really into this kind of yarn anymore, but I wanted to make use of it anyway. My husband is always in need of a hat and was super glad that I could make him another one for his collection. I decided to try to design my own, admittedly very simple knitting pattern for it. And well, it worked : another warm nice hat ! Rather proud.

And here is the pattern : 

(you can have it for free, but if you would like to leave a comment, or even better, if you would like to follow my blog by subscribing, that would be lovely !!)
