SUPERHAT!!!

I made this hat after looking online for an earflap hat... and found them all lacking. so i decided to take matters into my own hands! this pattern takes about 1.5oz to 2 oz of WW yarn, and that solid plastic hook in the picture there. It's bigger than the K but smaller than the other giant ones... i've been informed that it's an N hook! hooray!
