This pattern (along with other patterns and tutorials) is available on my website, KnitOasis.com.

I designed this pattern to teach my students how to knit in the round. It quickly became a favorite hat for knitters and beanie wearers alike! Knits up lickety-split and can be made in acrylic, wool, or a yummy cashmere/merino blend like Bello from The Plucky Knitter.
