This is a pattern for a beautiful hat showcasing different types of beetles. It´s a perfect pattern to use up leftover yarn scraps. Is there a hidden political message unrelated to entomology? Maybe.

Since I originally freestyled the pattern and didn´t expect people to be interested in a pattern, the instructions are really instructions on how to freestyle it yourself. All informations about sizing, needles and so on are included in the pdf.
If you have any questions, are struggling with my instructions or want to show of your hat that you made with my pattern please reach out to @entomilligy on instagram :)

Skill level:
Intermediate
(If you are a beginner, who likes to experiment and freestyle, I will gladly help you to make it happen, just reach out to me if you get stuck)

Required Skills:
Knitting and Purling, changing colors, knitting in the round(optional)

Possible target group:
entomologists with love for beetle diversity and hate for the system.*

EDIT: everytime the pattern says “motive” it means “motif” sryyy
