I decided to try to make something similar so here is my hat inspired by Lola:

Mine was a bit cheaper:
Leftover scrap of polar fleece - $0
Two yards velvet ribbon - $2
Pattern (B4643) - $3
Grand total - $5
I had to play around with the pattern a lot to get the look I wanted. The hat part was longer than I wanted and the brim was floppier than I wanted. So, I basted and ripped and basted and ripped until I had it looking like I wanted. But after I sewed the final seams, I didn't like how wide the brim turned out. I wanted a closer-to-the-face look. I didn't feel like ripping out seams from the polar fleece (I would have gone blind!) so I improvised. What do you think of my "design feature". Hee hee.

You did a heck of a job! Looks great!!!
I think the hat looks great! I really like the folded out extra brim and snaps? is that in the back or oposite the tie? Very cute! g
Cute hat, love the "design feature". Winter/Spring, whatever you call it is weird in New England, too! Enjoy your snow.
Love the hat. A better description of the price:
Leftover scrap of polar fleece - $0
Two yards velvet ribbon - $2
Pattern (B4643) - $3
Having a "Lola' for a fraction of the cost - Priceless
Your hat is great! I love how you improvised.
