Are you as much of a Greek mythology fan as I am? Then you may love adding this beanie to your everyday wardrobe! Inspired by geometric patterns found on Ancient Greek pottery, the Hellenic Hat is a wonderful knit to truly show off your geekdom.

The pattern features instructions for both a fingering weight hat as well as a DK weight to fit whichever climate you may live in.

Colorwork is fully charted and can get a little tricky, stitch markers at each pattern repeat help to avoid any mistakes. But mistakes in this beanie almost lend to the Ancient aspect.
