The ever practical Schnapps insisted that we use up some partial skeins that we had around the house, so he sat down with me and we made this up as we went along. Thank you Kimberly for the name! The photo might not show it, but there are a ring of hearts around the red stripe of this hat.
Thank
you to everyone who has purchased patterns and e-books! 100% of the
price is used for shipping and supply costs. Please understand that the
'for purchase' only patterns will not be given out free - please do not
tell me that since you are knitting for charity they should be free.
First of all, I have no way of knowing how the patterns are being used,
nor do I need to know. Most of my patterns
are already free because I want everyone to be able to use them in any
way they wish. Those that are for purchase are fundraisers for DEHH.
Schnapps and I spend a LOT of time putting patterns together for
everyone and answering questions about patterns, free and purchased. We
also spend a lot of money on shipping and supply costs and this is a
way that we can offset costs while supplying new and different patterns
to those who are able to purchase them. It is completely understandable
for people to only use free patterns - we do not mind at all! But,
it's not fair to those who have purchased patterns for us to send them
free to others. THANK YOU for understanding! ♥

I used remnants of skeins of Michael's Charisma yarn for this hat, but you could use any 5-weight yarn. You would knit it all in one color or just use two colors. Have fun with it and enjoy! I have also included instructions for different yarn weights as well.
