Thank you Minetta for the name!
| ZipLine: A Hat! |
This pattern is quick and easy and can easily be adjusted for just about any size. The hat I made was done over 50 stitches and fits my head snugly, but comfortably. I only posted the pattern in the round. The one knit flat was terrible to seam........I don't think you want to try, but if you do, let me know.
You can add or decrease 10 or 20 stitches and still work the pattern exactly the same. Have fun with the colors. If you decide to only use 2 colors, just substitute Color A wherever Color C is used.
Enjoy this pattern. Please stop by our Facebook page and like us. Follow along as we make a difference and learn about new hat patterns as soon as Schnapps and I finish them.

The pattern may also be found on Scribd.com as a PDF and, as always, you can email me at robin@delawareheadhuggers.org and I will email you a copy. Please do not post in comments about problems you are having printing. I have emailed literally thousands of PDF's to people who request them.........just ask!
