Recs for Good Hats

[sporky_rat]

I'm wanting to make hats for my family for Christmas and I'm having trouble find just a simple, plain watchcap/toboggen whatever the hell you call it.   I have been looking on Ravelry (Hi! I'm Gnomerat!) and want some recommendations.  I can handle cables and increases and decreases and ribbing and all that, but my family is a little rough on hats. 

So if anyone has any recommendations (some of them are actually going to be getting those fingerless cabled gloves Fetching), I'd love to know!

I have made the Silk Garden Beanie with a variety of yarns, and it always works.

I use Kureyon for that pattern most of the time so any worsted weight yarn (heavy, light, or just in the middle there) will work for this hat.
