Fair Isle Hat still needs a name

I still need a name - a good name for this new hat.  My initial thought - is it looks like some kind of Russian tapestry - and God only knows where I got that idea from!  I don't even know what Russian tapestry even looks like - or if it even exists!  So I may need Russian name for it.  There is a hemmed trim that you can't see and a 2-colored cable for the brim.  The rest of the hat is a fun Fair Isle print - using sock yarn.  I'm blocking it, then will finish the crowning with a 3-point finishing which should be fun and easy.  I'm thinking of finishing it in a 3-needle bind off in the green - maybe even adding mini tassels or I-cords to each tip.  I'm excited to finish it and get it on a model.  I can never tell if it's the look that I'm going for until I have it photographed on a model!
