Bad pictures of a simple hat

Last fall, Bob asked me if I could knit a hat. I tried really hard not to get all ego-y, and I wanted to say "yes" but I may have scoffed a little and said that "hats are super easy." I'm like that. So Bob asked for a hat "with a band that folds."

I found some yarn in a suitable guy color (Madelinetosh Tosh DK in Graphite) and cast on for Jared Flood's Turn a Square. Except I sort of made my own version of the pattern. I did not do the tubular cast on, because that's a lot of work for what I feel like is a very minimal effect.  Also, I didn't do the stripes, because Bob wanted solid. Finally, I made the ribbing longer (4 inches) so that the brim could be flipped up.

I don't have any good pictures of this hat, but I have some bad ones. Here is a picture that does not show either the hat or the color to its best advantage.

Here is another bad picture where you can barely see the hat. It does prove that the hat has been worn out in the wild. 

Overall, there wasn't a lot that went into this hat in terms of skill or complexity, but Bob seems to like it, so we'll call it a win. Sorry for the crummy pictures.
