I donate 100% of the proceeds for this pattern to the Houston Food Bank.

I named this hat after my favorite B.B. King song. The lyrics are just a little too on-the-nose for what we’re going through during the pandemic, don’t you think?

Better not look down if you wanna keep on flyin’
Put the hammer down and keep it full speed ahead
Better not look back or you might just wind up cryin’
You can keep it movin’ if you don’t look down
-B.B. King, Better Not Look Down

Let’s all take B.B.’s advice to keep moving forward through the chaos. Let’s all take Mr. Rogers’s advice to look for the helpers. Let’s all take the experts’ advice and get vaccinated!

This is a great stash buster project. Instructions are given for multiple sizes & gauges, using fingering, sport, dk, or worsted weight yarn. You’ll need approximately 65 grams of the main color and 20 grams of the contrasting color.

Skills needed: knit, purl, in the round, k2tog, and chart reading. Feel free to message me if you need help.
