Frugaldad does not have a small head, and he has a lot of hair, so if your man has a small noggin, this will be loose or else you should cast on fewer stitches.
Men's Hat Pattern
Almost 100 g worsted weight yarn (I used Paton's Classic Merino 223 yards/100g skein in Deep Olive)
size 7 16" circular needle and double points or size to make gauge
8 stitch markers
gauge: nearly 6 st/inch knit in St st in the round
Cast on 120 stitches. Join round and place marker to mark start of round. Work in k2p2 ribbing for 4 inches.
Work in St st until work measures 8 inches from CO edge. (K13 k2tog Place Marker) until end of round.
Knit one round.
Repeat decrease round by knitting each stitch until 2 stitches remain before marker, then k2tog.
Knit one round between each decrease round. Switch to dpns when too few stitches remain for circular.
When 8 stitches remain, break yarn, remove markers and thread tail through last 8 stitches. Pull tight and weave in ends.
