This is a top down crochet version of the Melt The Ice hat that starts with magic circle and uses alternating dc and front post dc to create the ribbing for the band.

While I am making this pattern available for free, I suggest a donation to any one of these mutual aid organizations. Every little bit helps!

In the 1940’s, Norwegians made and wore red pointed hats with a tassel as a form of visual protest against Nazi occupation of their country. Within two years, the Nazis made these protest hats illegal and punishable by law to wear, make, or distribute. As purveyors of traditional craft, we felt it appropriate to revisit this design.
