Free Hat Pattern for Man: "Matt in the Hat"

I was asked for the pattern I used to make my son Matthew a hat. I just winged it but I did write down what I did so I wrote up the pattern for you. Matt is really happy with his hat. Enjoy...

Matt in the Hat:

Materials
ww yarn (not sure how much yarn I used because I started out with less than a full skein and had some left afterwards so it might be safe to start out with a full skein.)
H hook
needle to weave in ends
Stitch marker
