I was making these hats for my friends' kids as a quick easy gift. Pretty soon, some of my grown up friends were wanting hats of their very own! I decided to write out this pattern so everybody could get in on the fun.
If you know how to knit in the round, this pattern is for you! And don't worry if you're 3-needle bind off isn't yet perfected; I've included some diagrams to help you with that.
