This hat pattern is worked in the round with written instructions only.

It starts with a few inches of ribbing and continues in pattern stitch.

It was created to be worn as a cap, but it could easily become a slouch by adding pattern repeats before the decreases.

Any worsted to aran yarn would work as long as you get gauge.

Depending on the brand used, you could need only 1 skein of yarn.

Optional pompom
