Are any of you watching what's doing at Lime n Violet? Their Advent Calendar is filled with wonderful wish lists, knitting accessories and pattern recommendations. Including great knits for men, like this classic topper from Smariek Knits:

This was a two-evening project. Turned out a little small for the man of the house, whose got a really big cabeza. Will definitely make another, but will bump the needle size.

For some other man-friendly caps, try Thorpe by Kirsten Kapur of Through the Loops. Thorpe is a clean, quick ear-flap that's easily customized.

Ravelry revealed the perfect watch cap, Marsan by Staceyjoy. Absolute perfection.

Anyway, more hats to come.

Happy last-minute knitting!
