Knit Look -- Ribbed Crochet Hat Pattern

Excuse my sleeping husband. I woke him to get him to model this hat for me. He was more than willing (Though I wonder if he even remembers modeling it, now?? LOL). This is my knit look -- Ribbed Crochet Hat Pattern. And I used self striping yarn! Well, it didn't really make "stripes", but it does sort of have a purple zebra/tiger look. I used Bernat Purple Self-Striping Yarn. Here is my pattern for this hat:
