This hat is modeled on one of the hats worn by Bill Owen as Compo in The Last of The Summer Wine, one of the “Britcom” series seen on public TV. This horseshoe cable & Irish moss stitch hat is similar to one he wore for a time mid-way through the series. It is a fancier stitch than his other hats, but it is the same frosty/sage green as the trademark green cabled hat he wore for several years. Compo wore all his hats with a short rolled up brim, sitting above his ears. However, they all fit well down over the ears for cold-weather use and are quite attractive that way..

This hat is based on the style of hat that Bill Owen wore as Compo in Last of the Summer Wine series of British Comedy on public television. He wore three versions of the hat, but this version in a light green seems to have lasted the longest on the series. Rascally Compo is one of my favorite characters in all of BritCom, and after his death the series never was quite the same..

This hat is based on the dark green Watch Hat worn by Compo, played by Bill Owen, in The Last of the Summer Wine, the “Britcom” series on public TV. This reproduction pattern is a version of Compo’s earliest knitted, dark green hat, which he wore pushed up above his ears, with the crown sticking up above his head. This design is a nice warm typical Watch Hat..
