Here is a pattern for my Vertical Noro Hat.
This is a very simple hat. It is knit flat and then seamed up. It looks very interesting and is fun and fast to make. Even a very timid knitter can do it. Perfect for the beginner, but fun even if you are more experienced. Perfect for the last minute gift.
Note: this free pattern is for one size only. I am working now on the extended version that would cover the complete range of sizes from Baby to Adult. I will let you know when it becomes available.
