This is the hat for both the trend setter and classic wardrobes everywhere! Absolutely unisex, if animal print is your thing.
I’ve chosen to use sock yarn to produce a fine fabric that still stays thin even with two colours being stranded along. You will want a dark solid colour for the band and foreground (A). the background (B) can be a variegated or multi colour yarn, as long as there are no colours in it close to the colours used for (A). I chose a soft grey / peachy tan mix to get a more realistic animal colour.
