I need to find a pattern for a small, lightweight beanie. My hair is long enough these days that even with the earphone headband holding it down, if I take a lesson in the R22 that usually gets flown with its doors off, I get my hair blown back in my face. Sunday I tried wearing a baseball cap, and the wind decided to try and push my hat off my head, headphones and all. The instructor (who shaves his head) suggested a hijab as a joke, but I gotta say, after twenty minutes of having to try to see around my own hair, the idea of a headscarf's lookin' mighty appealing. I'm gonna need to see about knitting a cap that'll hold things in place, at least until winter, when I can start wearing the furry earflap hat instead.

Would a lightweight balaclava work? I don't know if such a thing is a contradiction in terms, but if you can find the kind that are versatile in how you wear them, you could get one that can be worn as a hat or a hood or a neck warmer or what have you.

Pre-tied kerchiefs are good!

Wound up getting one of these in wool twill. I figure if the brim still catches enough wind to be a problem, I can turn it around and wear it backwards; it comes down to my eyebrows if I do that, and unlike my baseball cap, it doesn't have a button on top that makes the headband of the earphones hurt.
