I created this pattern when I couldn’t find a hat pattern I liked for my one-year-old son. I didn’t have the time to keep searching the internet for the perfect pattern, so instead I created my own. I apologize for the dodgy photos—my model wasn’t quite cooperating. I’ll post better ones soon.

It’s fun and easy for the seasoned knitter, yet not too challenging for beginners looking to try new things like picking up stitches.
