This pattern is featured in the book Knit a Little by Marie Greene.

If I ever run short on ideas, the answer is usually a trip to the Oregon Coast. Flowing water and fresh air work wonders to get the creative wheels spinning again.

Designed as a partner for its namesake pullover, this sweet little hat makes a splash of its own. The Waterfall Beanie is worked in the round as a tube (without crown shaping) and features a center lace panel and a charming picot bind-off. The real magic happens with the braided drawstring (although ribbon or i-cord would work just as well) to close the top and bring it all together.
