Made from worsted weight yarn, this versatile hat can be worn as a slouch hat or a beanie. Simply turn it 90 degrees and the look changes! A rectangle “canvas” is built into the ribbing and is the perfect place to add an embroidered drone and RPIC (Remote Pilot in Charge). Not a pilot? Sew or embroider your emblem of choice on the blank canvas.
Circular needles will even complete the top as the unique construction can be bound off on the same needles… no need to switch to double-pointeds.
Made for adults (head circumference 20 (21, 22) inches, it is easy to make smaller for the children on your knitting list.

My patterns are all free, but I have great hope that those that can will donate to help prevent suicide in veterans and military, or the Salvation Army, a non-profit that helps train and assist those in need. Direct links:
