This pattern was designed for the 2013 Chicago Yarn Crawl.

I designed the hat with Misti’s Best of Nature Worsted, which is handpainted with natural dyes extracted from vegetable and mineral sources according to International Organic Standards. Misti’s Hand Paint Studio Calicampo, has just received Fair Trade Certification, recognizing Misti’s commitment to excellent working conditions, environmentally responsible production and support of the local community in Arequipa, Peru. If you substitute yarns, you’ll want something that has some drape.
