Since wintry temperatures will be with us for a little while yet, you have plenty of time to knit this adorable earflap In Flight Hat. Because Marilyn Losee chose Simply Soft® Chunky for this cozy piece, it works up very quickly. She’s added some easy intarsia (a Cowchican bird design), a bold pompon and sweet pompon tassels.
