Created for the Pussy Hat Project when I didn’t see crochet mentioned. Turns out there are others, yay! but of course didn’t
find them until after I worked this out. Well, more is more for this
self-affirming endeavor.

The yarn I used is listed as bulky but it was very thick and thin
and I think it averaged out to a heavy worsted -- so see what
your gauge results are using a nominally lighter -- say aran or heavy
worsted weight and an I hook.

It would look good in a even lighter gauge -- but as this is event and give-away oriented and holiday time -- the larger gauge yarns mean
less time for the project. This took about 2.5 hours.

The pattern includes suggestions for resizing.

I also created a worsted weight version:
G hook/ 4mm
12 row and 15 stitches = 4”
190 yards
