old man hat

[chylve.livejournal.com]

I need a quick, easy, stodgy old man's knit hat pattern. There is suddenly a stodgy old man (though, as far as I can tell he is neither quick nor easy) on my gift list and as much as I've searched I cannot for the life of me find the right pattern for a hat for him. Please, if anyone can help I'll be very grateful.
Thanks!
