Check out the pictures of this hat and its amazing yarn! Two pictures show how you can wear your ponytail in any position thanks to the hat’s button band. The other two pictures show the hat in different low light conditions. If you walk or jog when it’s dark or nearly so, this provides a lot of visibility from quite a distance. Style and safety!

This should really be called the “everything hat” because it’s got it all: easy, row-by-row instructions; one-piece bottom-up construction on straight needles; bulky yarn so it knits up superfast; buttons up the back so you can wear your ponytail high, low, or in between by just undoing the button that corresponds to your ponytail’s position (or undo two buttons for a messy bun); fantastic reflective yarn for amazing visibility in low light; and a very reasonable cost to make, using only one ball of “Red Heart Reflective”.
