A Earflap Hat for Russ

So, funny story. My friends Russ and Bekah both asked me to make gifts for each other. I've been secretly making each of them presents from one another and making kitty toys for their kitties. Pretty much, their family kept me very busy this season. :)

This is the hat I made Russ. I came up with the pattern, and I love how it turned out. You can't see how cool the stitches look through the pictures, but I absolutely love them. There is a little skull on each earflap. Russ decided he wanted tassels on it, so I'm going to add them before too long, but I still like the look of it without them too.
