Winter's Morning Hat - a knitting pattern

You can see your breath before you in the cold morning air. Frost coats 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 flakes of winter’s first snow drift down from the clouds above and you are filled with wonder as this mystical season begins.
