A Seaman's Cap for a Landlubber

A hat for my father-in-law.  He requested one over the Christmas holidays.  I decided I had better make one quickly before he changed his mind about wanting a handmade knitted item.  Here it is - the Seaman's Cap for a Landlubber:

It is being modeled by husband, so it looks a little large.  My father-in-law has a big noggin (sorry, but, it's true)!  I had to make a few adjustments to the pattern to make it fit a larger circumfrence.  I hope it fits, and that I didn't overadjust.  I made a hat with a fold up brim because my father-in-law wanted a hat to cover his ears while gardening outside.  I didn't know how long the hat would have to be in order to do that, so I  made a brim he could pull down as necessary.
