I’ve been making this classic zig zag pattern for a while, but I had not taken the time to get it formatted until now. The Moose Mountain hat uses 3 colors of super bulky yarn. There are no long floats, and you’re never knitting with more than 2 colors at once. The hat is knit in the round from the bottom up.

This can be a great stash busting pattern, using about 12 yards of the 2 of the colors in the zig zags. There are so many colorful outcomes possible. I have written the pattern for 3 sizes: child, adult m/l, and adult l/xl. Shown in Lion Brand Wool Ease Thick and Quick.

Instructions are given for easily adapting the pattern to get a great fit.
