Pattern description from Knockdown Knits: “Like Know Your Jammer Hat, the Pivot Hat is designed for the derby girl that not only wants the world to know she’s a derby girl, but also wants the world to know that she’s a pivot! How could you blame her? Pivots have the toughest job in the pack. They’re not only looking to take out the other team’s jammer, but also controlling the pack speed, telling the blockers where to go, and acting as the last line of defense on the track! A pivot deserve to wear this hat and to receive the respect that should come with it! This hat is knit in three pieces, with the sides knit separately from the stripe. With only a little shaping and seaming, an experiences knitter can whip it up in an evening or it works as a great first hat for the newbie knitter.”
