I think I'm going to be making a bunch of these for Christmas gifts. I love how quickly it knits up. Thanks for linking the pattern!
My version:

keyyoung, i LOVE your version of the hat. tell me, how did you make that flower? did you make it up. it's so pretty.
anyhoo, whatever the hell kind of hat it is (cloche, skull cap, beanie, etc.), i think we can all agree it is a great pattern.
