When I was a kid every guy I knew wore a hat like this. Triangular, striped and itchy. We've all softened a little in the last thirty years, so this updated version features an impossible-to-complain-about cashmere lining, which is easy once you learn how to do a provisional cast-on.
This Christmas I'm giving one to all of the men in my family. I can't wait to look around at them wearing their 70's Ski Hats, reminding me of how much I loved those times. To make your own 70's Ski Hat, you can visit my project journal. --Whitney

I too was rather struck by the rather dashing model! ;)
My son is a flyfisher and has asked me knit him a hat with ear flaps 9 or shaped down over ears and a visor - have you come across any pattern like that. I Have been searching the net with no luck so far.
Love your hats.
