A friend asked me to knit her a hat in her team colors for swimming. This is what we came up with!

You will need worsted weight in two colors, size 3 and 8, 16” circular needles, and an additional circular or double points in size 8 to finish the crown.

This would also look great with a pompon on top.

The pattern is a multiple of 24, but smaller yarn and needles are an option when you increase the repeats of the chart.

The sample is in Cascade Pacific.
