Hey All!
This is my very first written pattern and first publish.
This past December I have been knitting about 10 hats as Christmas gifts, so I figure I put a little twist into the simple beanie/hat pattern.
This chart was designed specifically for my friend who lives in Kansas. Those are her colours and her style.

Note on yarn
Basically any worsted-weight yarn would work.
I used Cascade 220 for the main color, but this is a great project to use up bits and bits of leftover yarn from other projects.
You will need:
-Less than 100 yards in the main color
-Less than 30 yards in each of the contrasting color

Feel free to play around with the design.
For example you can knit a folded brim, add a couple of more plain rows after the chart before the decrease to make it a slouchy beanie.
Feel free to play around with the colors.
Feel free to contact me anytime if there are any problems!

Happy Knits!
Matt
