Falling Leaves features a simple stitch pattern that reminded me of the changing seasons and well, falling leaves. This hat is perfect for all your knitworthy friends.

Notes This hat is worked from the bottom up, starting with a long tail cast on. The body is worked in the round using an easy texture stitch, and finishes with simple decreases for the crown.
