I used a double strand of some fingering wgt. black handspun with glitz for an ‘armor’ look. Any soft (because it keeps the sides of the face warm - a more sensitive area) worsted wgt. wool will work as well.

Please note: When originally published, this pattern was mispelled on purpose. It was a pun sort of joke in my house at the time about eating your hats. I’m changing it because, years later, it appears to cause confusion. Thanks!
