Winter's Evening Hat - a knitting pattern

You can see your breath before you in the cold evening air. Snow covers the ground and all that is around you. The frozen grass of the meadow crunches beneath your boots as you gaze up into the sky. Slowly, magically the clouds clear and the first stars of the evening twinkle in the sky and you are filled with wonder as this mystical season begins.
