This hat was designed for Attitan, the son of the talented owners of www.creativevega.com who helped me in the development of my branding and website, www.knitwise.com. I am very deeply grateful for their experience, talent and genuine love for what they do that shines in their work. You will notice that the knot pattern at the top of the hat is a rendition of my logo that they designed. I hope you enjoy knitting this fun hat for your own little light. Wise knitting my friends.

This hat is knit bottom up with a rolled edge, corrugated rib and some fun stranded motifs.
