Roman Rory Hat

This hat pattern was a special request from a friend of mine. This hat resembles a Roman soldier hat also worn by one of her and of course my favorite characters on Doctor who. Can you guess who? Come on, take a guess...Okay here is a hint, the hat is named after him. Yep you guessed it Rory!

Hope you enjoy the Roman Rory hat! Happy hooking:)
