Julia Mancuso, the Olympic skier, created a bit of stir in the crochet world when she appeared during the pre-Olympics interview and again later wearing a crocheted red, white & blue slouch beanie with pom-pom.

I was unable to find out who made it, so I made up my own pattern for the hat. I think it turned out pretty similar, so I’m posting it for others to enjoy on my website. Enjoy!
