The third in the Six Simple Hats For Fall, the Parker Hat is a quick one to get started and finished, uses worsted weight yarn and large needles, and works for both men or women. I've knit it up with chunky yarn and even thicker needles, but am in love with the look of it with worsted best.

This looks like a great simple pattern. Thanks for sharing it!
ReplyDeleteI look forward to trying it out.
Also, I tried clicking on the simple fall hats link and I didn't see any hats listed there. Didn't know if I was looking in the right spot.
LOVE THIS! I've been wanting to knit some hats to give as gifts, and this is definitely being added to my "to knit" list
