The Ball Cap was designed for a very special, and very smart-alec’ed friend who is going through a rough time, health-wise. His last name is Ball, he has hinted quite strongly for a hand-knitted hat, AND I had an armful of bouncy and amazing worsted-weight Targhee wool, so what’s a knitter to do? I had to make the boy a hat! And then I got a bit obsessed and ended up making five.

This is a quick pattern, perfect for holiday knitting. It takes very little time, and the finished product is perfect for anyone on your list. There are two crown options - rounded or pointy.
