A basic beanie with simple texture above the brim. Starting with 2x2 ribbing and then transitioning into a simple knit and purl texture that makes a graphic design around hat before a little stockinette and then decreases. Use your favorite worsted weight yarn for a Medium hat or play with yarn weight and needle size for smaller or larger options.

This is the official hat pattern of the JFK4IL campaign, designed by Joely Faren King to spread the word about her campaign for Congress in the 1st District of Illinois and encourage people to knit for their favorite charity! The design made of knits and purls above the brim mimics her campaign logo for a subtle show of support that won’t go out of style once the race is over.
