First, I would like to give credit where credit is due. Have you ever seen a piece of media with two or more different endings that are both excellent, such as a remake of an old film or an adaptation of a novel for the stage? I was inspired to design this hat after knitting the Claudia hat pattern by MJ Kim, an amazing, free knitting pattern available on Ravelry. I hope that you find my adaptation worthy of the original. A giant thank you to MJ Kim for the inspiration. The Steeplechase Beanie would not exist without you.
