Pattern description:
The Curmudgeonly Hat is the kind of hat your old neighbor used to wear on his daily walks around the block, shaking his finger at “those darn kids” and their shenanigans. Now you can play up your oldster chic in this houndstooth patterned bucket hat perfect for days when you feel grumpy, yet still stylish! The bucket-hat shape with slight flared brim shades your eyes from the winter sun, while the oversized houndstooth check makes the piece crisp and modern.

Houndstooth gauge is similar, if not identical, to stockinette gauge.
