This hat was designed by me for my husband, using Cascade 220 superwash worsted weight yarn so that is nice and thick. It has skulls and stars in the pattern, with the decreases creating a twist! This is an electronic PDF pattern, best for intermediate-level knitters or at least done some fair isle before.
