Last week we went on a family vacation to the province of Apulia (Puglia) in southern Italy, and one of the obligatory stops there is Alberobello, home of the trullis (for more info about these round stone huts, check out the Wiki in English or Italian). They are as cute as can be, although (as one of my guidebooks reported) at this point, many of them are gift shops. But not all; some are still private homes. 
I noticed that many of the gift shops were selling simple knitted or crocheted ponchos like these. (Not nearly as cute as the trullis, if you ask me!)
The Vespa Hat is a fun, quick project-- and fun to wear, with earflaps to keep your ears warm, a loose fit to prevent the dreaded "hat head," and an optional ponytail hole. Ear flaps and back of neck are worked flat; after front stitches are cast on, hat is worked in the round. See more patterns
