Thanks to Kathy Lashley at Elk Studio for this fun, quick, free pattern. I rated it medium because of the post stitches. If you are familiar with post stitches in the round, this should be an easy pattern for you.

I made the band 68 rows and the hat 17 rounds. I added the optional round at the end.

I love the way the neon yellow yarn pops! This was the perfect project to use this yarn as an accent.
