Every January I participate in a hockey group activity of knitting three hats during the month. We call it a Hat Trick. In hockey, three goals is a hat trick, so three hats in January is our hat trick. It’s a lot of fun, and in addition to discovering new to me patterns, I also try to take advantage of the fun to design a few hats during the month. I found this stitch pattern that I fell in love with and thought it would be fantastic as a hat.

This pattern has been tested and tech edited.
