Abstract
A knit hat that has sleeve, wherein the sleeve encloses an ear warmer having a frame with a band and a first and second ear portions that are at least partially covered by the hat when worn. The hat is formed of a thread yarn material and the hat is provided with a shape suitable for securing the hat around a person's head so as to conform to the contours of the head to substantially minimize gaps between the hat and the head. Unexpectedly, the band of the ear warmer within the sleeve of the hat provides tension to the hat that causes it to hug the back of the head. At the same time, the first and second ear portions keep the ears of the wearer securely covered.
