Replacement hat for the one I knit in 2014. It was stuffed in his back pocket when we were on a walk this fall and fell out into the snow somewhere. It was one of his favorites.

I tried to find the same colors to replicate it exactly, but those shades of Cascade 220 (at least one of them) has been discontinued. Rather than try to find matching colors online, I went to my LYS to find two colors that woul work well together. I love them, so I hope he does, too.

I had to look at my notes from 2014 to see if I had done anything special.

This is a fun pattern, and easy to do once you understand what’s going on.

One thing I don’t understand is how the increases in the final round of the Large size are distributed (at the beginning and end of the round, rather than distributed evenly.)
