The pattern I used was the 1-2-3-5 Beanie from Ravelry. The pattern was easier to remember after a few rounds. 
The yarn is Silky Tweed in colors 5, 6, and 8. It's a DK weight yarn made of silk, cotton, merino extra fine wool, and viscose. It's soft but not too slippery and was nice to knit with. I love the flecks of color mixed it to create the tweed.
I didn't get the decreases quite right and found the directions a bit confusing but in the end, I don't think my mistakes are very noticeable. I'll just pretend I meant to do it that way.
My brother sent me a picture of himself wearing it. He loves it and the cookies I mailed with it. Happy Birthday, Chris!

What a great hat! I see why he loved the colors! You are turning into quite the knitter. I am in awe because knitting was something my brain couldn't wrap around. I know he feels special with you thinking of him like that! He looks great in it too! Gosh I miss him! Love you, Momma
Ps- the strawberries are making my mouth water! Literally! :-) Momma
I love that hat! That tweed yarn is great...I love the colors you picked.
And I second Mom...that strawberry picture has me wanting some berries!!! Yum!
Great colors for a man's hat and he looks great in it!
I love it Becky. And Chris loves it too. It fits his style. Love you, dad
