INSPIRATION
This hat was inspired by an odd character in a show I used to watch years ago - for some reason I found The Wisdom Cube episode on Aquateen Hunger Force the most hilarious thing ever, well..one of them anyway.

The hat uses mosaic technique, so you only work one color per round! I made two samples: tweed + self-striping one that’s a a bit more slouchy and a grey and white one that’s a standard beanie. I am rather in love with self striping wools at the moment and they seem to be THE perfect companion to mosaic!

The pattern is written and charted.
