I designed this hat for Manos del Uruguay’s Wool Clasica Design Contest. I made it my goal to create a fun hat to knit that is also a fun hat to wear.

After I created this project page, I wrote a blog entry with more information.

If you like this hat, please consider voting for it in the “People’s Choice” category, by clicking the “Love” button at the bottom of my entry (#10) here. (Voting ends Friday, Sept. 9 at 5PM.) Thanks!

Thanks to everyone who voted for my hat! It had the most votes in the “People’s Choice” thread, and I won 10 lovely skeins of Wool Clasica!

On 12-23-11 the formatted and tech edited pattern was released by Fairmont Fibers (distributer of Manos yarns). You can download the free pattern using the links on the #77 Dream Hat Pattern Page.
