Wearing loose wool beanie/winter hat 1 month post FUE? (photos)

ArchDandy
Tomorrow will mark the 30th day post op, and so far everything has been going smoothly and according to plan. The doctors team have been updating me regularly and helping out with all my questions. Just one didn't get a universal response: is wearing a knitted wool winter hat (pictured below) safe after 4 weeks? The hat in question is (almost excessively) loose fitting, broad knit and light. My doctor himself sees no problem, but one of the assistants worried about snagging. Thank you.
