This pattern is An Etcgirl Quickie - a quick-to-knit project that uses 1-2 balls of yarn and simple stitching. Etcgirl Quickies are value-priced patterns that you’ll reach for again and again.

I have a lot of “hat friends” - people who wear a hat more often than not. This is the preferred hat of one of those friends who happens to be a LeConte. LeConte is a close- fitting beanie style hat. Personalize yours with a contrast brim, a random stripe, or go crazy with all-over stripes. Use wool or a wool blend for good shape retention in a double- knitting (DK) weight.
