sorry to anyone who saved this before it got removed. I had to update petty information and also figured out how to combine the PDFs before resubmitting so it should be golden now

This is a simple hat pattern with minimalistic instructions because I spent weeks designing this chart and then couldn’t figure out what to do with it, so I slapped it on a hat.

Size is adjustable by changing needle sizes or blocking or drying. You’re welcome to adjust chart design based on personal preference or experience with how many stitches you need to make a hat. It cuts down to 100 stitches by removing the mountains between Gandalf and Aragorn and a few single columns between certain characters and adjusting mountains above removed columns.

Construction includes provisional cast on for folded brim. Single layer brim is up to maker preference.

Ladderback Jacquard to catch floats would be great for this hat, although I did not use that.

Main color: A Shortcut to Mushrooms on Merino DK by Long Dog Yarn’s One Club To Rule Them All 2022 subscription.

Contrast color: Cascade 220 superwash in black.

MC total used: 70 grams / 152 yards approximately

CC total used: 17 grams / 38 yards approximately

Any DK/light worsted should work fine.

Disclaimer: I don’t care what you do with objects made from the chart, but don’t copy the chart and try to sell it. Be a good person. Chart inspo credit to u/gom_tiles pixel animation on Reddit.
