Notes

A hat to help be seen at twilight with Coast Indian style feather barring in Reflective yarn. Chunky weight, based on Very PDX hat, with a speckled band, then a set of six ‘feathers’ at the top. Band and feathers are retro-reflective. Colors are similar to the Seattle Football team colors, with the Twilight standing in for College Navy and the Neon Green for Action Green.

Feather pattern idea, but was altered to allow for top of hat closure.

12-stitch horizontal repeat (1 is green, o is navy)

If a wider repeat, then the ‘interior’ color changes would have to be adapted to provide for the “U” shape with a gradual widening of the ‘interior’ color, with a swift ‘pinch off’ at the top, but only a very small widening of the interior for most of the feather shape.
