This is called the Dad Hat as I consider it a basic, practical design, nothing fancy, but the ribbed design means it fits well to any head.

Covid-19 has turned the world on it’s head and for many of us a crafting distraction is exactly what we needed.

I initially knit this hat for a friend before deciding to write it up as a pattern of my own. The lines that ricochet between the purl stitches remind me of a 90s video game.
