This uses under 1/2 a skein (under 108 yds) for a one size hat, as well as a newborn size modification.

My son needed a hat. I needed a project. He is my Halloween Baby, and I love sticking him in pumpkin hats. Poor kid, he has a horribly cruel Mommy. I’m sure he’ll grow to hate them. Anyway, this is an quick and easy, top down, reversible and mathematical hat that can be left alone for a cool pinwheel effect pseudo fractal vertex (crown) or embellished to make into fruits or veggies, like a pumpkin. Sadly, I never finished the pumpkin top. Oh, well… like anyone needs yet another hat with a stem and leaf!
