Roman Earflap Hat - Sort Of

My intent was to make the Roman Earflap Hat as it was written, but that wasn't how it ended up. I made the hat deeper and skipped the flaps. It is still a really warm and comfy hat. I love how the stitch pattern on the brim makes it so thick and warm. This yarn yielded a really crisp stitch definition and the semisolid color spread out nicely.
