To make my honey more visible when he is shoveling snow in the driveway by the street and near the mailbox, this is super stretchy to layer over a wool hat when it’s extra cold outside.

Cast-on 103 stitches with 6.5 mm needle (decrease 1 away to join in round).

Knit 2X2 ribbing until last 4 stitches, knit 1X1, then on next round P2tog on those four sts. (Because I’m an idiot and forgot I wanted to do 2X2 ribbing, so I should have had 2 more stitches.)

Knit 2X2 ribbing with 3.75 mm needle for 2 inches, add 6 round stripes of green/black/green/black. Then continue black in stockinette, decreasing cap over next 4 inches for crown.

Finished while watching late night movies after our anniversary.

Total approximately 9.5 inches high.
