This pattern is the part of the Spartikes Dyes Yarn Club 2014 and will be exclusive to club members for 3 months.

Every February 2nd, without fail, Mr. Groundhog braves the cold and emerges to predict the weather for us without any technology to aide him. It’s about time we celebrate his courage, his determination, and his weather forecasting abilities! Whether he predicts a quick end to Winter, 6 more weeks of Winter, or is completely wrong like most weather forecasters are, you will be prepared with this hat design.

This design features an ear-flap that can be worn down to cover your neck and ears, or buttoned up for a fun, yet warm look. You can also wear the buttoned up version backwards, for a brimmed look.

Fit: This hat is a tall, loose hat, meant to be worn with positive ease. In other words, the finished measurements of the hat should be greater than the head circumference. The hat is tall when worn with the ear-flap down, and should still be able to be pulled over ears when the flap is up.
