Here's the hat and cowl pattern I mentioned previously. The Carlisle Hat pattern is available HERE at Knit Picks and is knit in 4 colors of Wool of the Andes. There's no shaping so it can also be made as a cowl as seen below.
To make it into a hat, just sew together the top edges and attach each corner together as seen below.
I hope to have some completed socks to show you soon!
