Have an opinion you want to wear on your sleeve (or rather on your head)?
Not confident designing something yourself, or just don’t want to do all the math?
Angry and need a therapeutic project?

This pattern includes step-by-step instructions and easy tools to help you chart and knit a protest beanie with the slogan of your choice (or use one of my example slogans). Included are charts for letters, numbers, and some punctuation. You will still have to do some math, but not all of the math.

This pattern will guide you through the steps to:
1. Choose and arrange your message
2. Create a colorwork chart
3. Knit your protest beanie

The worksheets provided in this pattern will be easiest to use if you are able to print the pattern.

The pattern is written for two colors in DK weight.

One size fits most.

Warning: many of my examples contain profanity.
