A needlework project for winter

A few weeks ago, my sister was attending a retreat in the North Georgia Mountains with some friends from her church when she texted me a photo of a hat she saw in a shop there. "You should make this hat," she said. I agree. And I would wear it. In fact, I wish I'd had it yesterday on my 5 p.m. walk, when the temperature was in the low thirties with brisk winds. Despite wearing a thick winter coat and leather gloves, I nearly froze. So getting some sort of hat, and fast, is a must!
I've been sewing hexies during my free time as I watch Netflix these days, but I may have to set those aside in favor of whipping up a new hat. I've found a crochet pattern for a similar hat here and a knit pattern for such a hat here. (There's also a pattern you can buy for a knit hat with a teapot design here, but this is way beyond my skill set as a knitter.) I believe I could crochet the hat on Ravelry.com pretty quickly, but alas, I've signed up for the site and clicked every button on that page and cannot find a way to download the pattern. Are any of you familiar with Ravelry and have any tips?
Meanwhile, would you wear this hat? I sure would, around my neighborhood at least. If you're a needlework fan, I'd love to hear what you're working on during these cool evenings!
