For this project, I decided to modify two of my designs, the Generic Skullcap knitting pattern and the New England Patriots Logo Knitting Chart. Since the colors are isolated to certain sections of the hat, I am going to use Intarsia versus stranded colorwork techniques. This means that portions of the hat will be knit in the round, and the portion with the chart will be knit back and forth flat and then have the edge grafted together. If you prefer to avoid colorwork knitting, you can make the Generic Skullcap and then add the Large Patriots Logo via duplicate stitch.

The sample used Worsted weight wool in 4 colors - MC (Granite - 45 g/100 yards), CC1 (red - 2 g/4 yards), CC2 (white - 5 g/11 yards) and CC3 (blue - 5 g/11 yards).
