This one is a hurricane hat I found on SouleMama, which she found from String in Motion.

 And yes, I am a beginner knitter. You need to know four stitches to be able to make this hat. Okay, you need to know four stitches and how to count to make this hat. The beginner knitter part came out when we figured out that the hat just fits. As, in no room for growth, and it could be a bit bigger. Anyway, I used 100% wool, worsted weight. 13sts= 4″ and I started with 50 co sts and attached a pompom to top it off. If you are are a beginner, and need a warm hat, and want to make something with a little style, try this one. I actually knit this up in less than one day.
